Bosses are very abusive and it is ruining the team dynamic. I feel like I’m the only one holding everything together. How do I build a case against them to either get a team transfer or them fired?

Unfortunately, you're better off leaving. In my experience, trying to oust someone senior to you is a lengthy, painful process likely resulting in you leaving, anyway. You'll just need a lawyer instead of a LinkedIn premium account.

Do not try to get them fired, it will backfire on you. Just start looking for a new job. Shitty bosses usually outlast the people they’re making miserable. It sucks, but it is what it is .

^What they said, but see if you can get some of it documented by HR for your file or on your exit interview. A good HR team will see the patterns as they start to evolve.

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.

You ever write a motion that’s soooooo 💩 that it’s embarrassing and you just wait for the partner to email you at 3AM saying “pls call me” because it’s too far gone for “pls fix.” 😩😩😩

I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
