34 year partner----I love it when people ask questions and challenge how an item is treated . It shows me they are thinking and I am not the only one focused on the work. We always deliver a better product when the team is focused. Having said that I am happy to explain the right way once but be careful about going on and on. There is nothing more tiresome than a staff that will not take direction

So basically OP you strong armed your manager into doing things your way. So you want to be the alpha even above your manager. Yeah i am sure that will go well.

I am far from a conformist. I am just not one to shoot myself in the foot either. There are plenty of things i think shoukd be changed and many things i have changed, but you need to know what battles to fight. If a manager is confortabke doing something a certain way because they can make sense of it, I can suggest something new and have the manager try it. If i see it doesn't work for the manager then i put it back. You are there to work, not to make your managers life more difficult.

@ Specialist 1: I totally agree with you. Far more things can be achieved with the Manager on your side. Better to leave the arrogance out of such discussions.

Errr are you still on opt?

Let's leave it here

You're on a student visa?

And you're a senior 1? In risk? Coz no way accounting gives you opt long enough to reach senior 1

I cam say I'm on student visa and for. But why is that a matter of concern for this topic

Coz it doesn't makes sense to be s1 and on student visa. EY also is no longer accepting cpt

Yah, all big for doing away with that, so i guess it doesn't matter then lol

Any manager worth their salt will appreciate constructive evaluation of the workpapers and approach but you need to do it respectfully. If it sounds like you are just trying to be lazy and get out of work then yeah you are probably not looking good in their eyes. But I have always been encouraged to ask the question if it doesn't make sense why we are doing something the way we are doing it. Worst case they say just do it anyway.

Idiot maybe.

I did join big 4 you know, so definitely an idiot

I'm senior. She did finally agree to my approach.

But thanks for the appreciation partner.

Why is everyone so conformist

What rank are you done specialist?

Every time I speak to my director (at least twice a week), he works in how he is getting older into the conversation(humorously). For instance, he forgot something non-work related, said “sign of old age”. He recently told a story, said, this is how old people talk. He likes to come across as a grandfatherly figure, but I’m not sure what to say in these encounters. It is always an innocent, non work related context. Have you guys experienced this ? What is an appropriate response ?
