Create checklists and use that to go thru your work at night.

Take notes and make sure your leadership sees you doing this stuff.

If nothing else it will show that you are taking this serious

Stop multi tasking. Do and complete one task at a time. Also, I agree with A1. I always suggest a checklist of items to twice before sharing deliverables upwards. Finally, it never hurts to have a peer review your work.

I have this problem too. Somehow I can sit down and review something 15 times and still have a partner or director tell me I missed something and I'm being sloppy. Don't know how to do it alone. I always need a 2nd pair of eyes but sometimes you don't have that option.

I have to give this feedback to a lot of people... I think it's always worth spending the extra couple of hours to carefully self review your work. It saves me time and makes you look better. Win win

Checklists is a good idea. For slides, spelling, consistent formatting, page numbers, etc. for excel, gut check your numbers to make sure they make sense. It makes you look really stupid when you show me the ROI of something is 32872%.

Walk away from it for an hour then come back and review with fresh eyes. Make the checklist A1 mentioned and use it with your fresh eyes. It won't do you any good to use a checklist right after you complete it. You still won't see anything.

I was just on my way to call my boss to leave my notice as my job was not at all what was promised when I was headhunted, and I just signed with McKinsey. However, before this my boss called me for a CTL as he felt I was unengaged and did not perform and I received a great severance package.
1) Am I “only” the winner here? I wasn’t engaged because it was a bullshit job, but I didn’t think I was doing THAT poorly.
2) Can I tell them I’m going to McKinsey? Can they revert the severance?

Ok this one’s for my fellow adhd’ers and auties: are we pro or against disclosing? Feels like it’d help my partners understand why I’m so good at certain things and absolute shite at others, rather than just thinking I’m lazy. But also, disclosure = risk of stigma. Where do people fall? For the seniors/counsel/partners, would you want your associates to disclose something like this or is it just irrelevant/going to make you think they’re just a problem for you even if you like their work?

What’s your tolerance for a partner talking to you like you don’t know what you’re doing and/or badgering you on a call when you’re trying to take a second to think about a question? Not necessarily “yelling” but close. Mine is low and I’m not sensitive; I just don’t need to work with someone who can’t respect the fact they I am busting my butt for them at the least. Unless I’m sitting on my butt and being lazy or screwing things up there’s no place for this at work in my opinion.

I need advice getting the partners in my small group at a big law firm to be upfront with their criticism.

How do I change I communicate that I want direct feedback?
