There’re a lot of issues in your question, which itself brings up many questions? Do others share your views? Does your boss share your views? Are tiles and responsibilities clearly defined? Strategy is one of the most often misunderstood roles. There’s often confusion between Strategy and Planning. Often confusion about the upstream portions of typical Creative activities/deliverables? It’s possible that you al are victims of a lack of clarity that probably appears amongst other teams. If so, you should consider escalating a request for clarity in roles - e.g RACI. If other teams don’t have these issues, maybe you all can model your structure after them. On the other hand, maybe they’re lazy & incompetent as you say and back-biting - If so, could be cultural or structural issue at your company. If so, good suggestions from others let them carry the ball they are not qualified to carry and take the hit or finds place where what you describe is not the norm - good Strategy people are always in demand.

Yes others share the same views for the same people. It’s between Media and Strategy, but Account is also having issues with Media. Media said I was going beyond what my duties should be, even though the people I mentioned have been consistently pushing part of their job on me and Account. And now they’re whining that I’m crossing the line. I haven’t been here long but if this bs keeps up I don’t think this will work out unless major changes are made. Place reeks of complacency, laziness and taking the easiest route rather than trying to push for the best work.

the nerve to say that you’re encroaching on their job responsibilities and escalate it to your boss, even though you feel like you’re so sick and tired of their bs and have remained nice about it?

I am only 4 months into being a surgical coordinator. I love the position itself however I am struggling to adapt into my new work environment. My position puts me in a place where I need to interact with my new coworkers but they are not as welcoming as I expected. There is also another surgical coordinator however I have come to find from other staff that there is a long history of her running other staff away and not fully training other surgical coordinator staff properly. Any suggestions?

What is your understanding of the norms around whose names end up on a brief/complaint/motion papers etc.?

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
