Are there any people of color
in production that have felt excluded from
teams on set. How do you deal with being bossed around. How do you deal with micro-aggression and two faced stylists??

Tips for dealing with clients whose expectations are unrealistic?

This might be too ambiguous to answer, but I want to get better at taking iniative, but I don't know how. I can be pretty shy in work settings. I do things without being told, but I want to go beyond that like start projects etc. Provide more value.

Have a crush on a senior manager (who’s straight & married) 😢

People who have lateraled, how have you handled the other mid-levels who treat you as a junior associate and try to give you assignments that aren’t appropriate for your vintage? I’m a rising 5th year and I have a rising 6th year sending me docs to save to the system for him (not review/comment/save, just save) and doing document production tasks my paralegal handled at my old firm.

My manager (female) stretched her legs during a 1:1 meeting and wrapped her legs around what she thought was a table leg. Turned out it was actually my ankle. I was shocked and didn’t know how to react, and before I knew it, it had been too long to awkwardly tell her. So I sat perfectly still the entire meeting. She never found out and I never spoke about it to her.

Honest question: Are you intentionally mentoring anyone who doesn't look like you? And I'm not referring to your randomly assigned counselees. Type Y or N.

The next time that you are considering asking for points for smallest mistakes of HK, just think how you'd feel if your client reports your small mistakes to your partner and ask for discount

How do you handle a class that can’t work independently without talking constantly?They’re not really a problem when I’m lecturing, but when I give homework afterwards they just talk and talk!

I keep fighting with the product managers on my team, who keep assigning me new features to build without checking first if I had the bandwidth for it. How do I communicate this politely?

Advice, please! A former coworker in a different industry wants to talk about opportunities in my organization. We haven't talked in several years, but were friendly when we worked together.

The thing is, based on the quality of his work, I really can't recommend him. What would be a diplomatic way to convey this?

Also, If you think there's a better bowl for this query, please let me know. TIA!

What's a guilty pleasure you indulge in at work?

We're all supposed to pool our tips but I'm pretty sure the waiters are keeping most of the money for themselves. I already told the manager and she kinda blew me off. Anyone else been through this?

Does anyone have sound advice for dealing with nitpicking feedback from a skip-level manager? I'm all for constructive feedback but something tells me that this individual might be out for me. I've worked here for 5+ years, I'm good at what I do and I show interest in my work. The feedback I receive feels out of place.
Asking for a friend,

"You're great, but just a little too much personality to work on this client." Welp... 👋

How do you handle micro managers? I’m a second year transactional associate and for the most part the partners and senior associates I work for trust me to get the work done. But this one guy is constantly checking up on me, asking for status of deliverables long before the deadlines he gave me, and just generally pestering me on everything I do. I am going to go insane if don’t figure out a way to stop this.

I’m an assistant for a firm I really like working with. But sometimes my boss does this thing where he tells me some information to complete a task for a client, I write down verbatim what he says and complete the task. Then when I confirm the task before sending it to the client, some of the very stuff he told me to say or do is suddenly incorrect. So he’ll tell me as such and then begin to give me a mini-lecture on why that information is wrong. The first few times he did this I was sure I…

Wondering if it’s just my v20 firm but it is so annoying when you have to work for incompetent partners that do not have the capability or stamina to do the work, but have one client or bring in one large matter every couple years. I don’t know how the client likes them since they don’t do any of the legal work.

Hello! This is a long story, so I’ll try to keep it brief. I work for a very small supplement company - it’s myself (marketing/acct mgmt) my coworker (sales), and the owner. My coworker is struggling to complete his tasks/meet his goals, and the owner is coming to me about angry clients. I’m afraid my coworkers inability to complete his duties is somehow being reflected onto me? What’s the most tactful way to have a conversation, either with him or the owner? Can provide further detail if needed

How would you suggest dealing with a toxic boss? They gossip and seem to purposely be vague about critical information, likely so they can't be held accountable.

I’m not onboard with the direction our engagement partner is taking. I’m aware that I could very well be wrong, but I would still like to respectfully disagree.

Have you guys ever fired a client? If yes, then why?

Wondering how people develop training materials. I use the equipment manuals and practical experience to create a PowerPoint presentation. I try to work in some in the floor time whenever possible.

Are recruiters worth more than L&D specialists? We have a new recuiter that transferred in from another dept. & is already making more than me and has a higher comp range. We have same tenure & they have NO prev. recuiting experience. I should also add I have been helping cover recuiting in interim. I also help cover HR tasks, have my SHRM, 5 years of HR exp., and 2 degrees. Is the "value" for recruiters more than L&D? I feel a little taken advantage of, but want to know if I'm off base here.

Producers: myself and other freelance editor friends have a question we’re struggling with. Why do people so often reach out and ask us for holds with no information what the project is? A lot of us won’t give 1st holds without making sure it’s something we are interested in so this seems like a lose-lose for all of us. I do understand if there’s an NDA situation involved but often I get literally no details and am just told things like ‘we have a project coming up’. Any insight? Thank you!
