Can someone help me understand: the person I report to asked me what I was working on and I provided a list of projects on my plate. Then I took a few days off, the first day I’m back, she asked me again about the status of those same projects. I’m sitting here scratching my head. Is this an example of micro-managing?

Can I be fired for constantly getting same feedback from my engagement managers that I need to pay attention to details? How do I improve on this?

If I tell people I'm a writer, they think all I want to do is entertain people. But if I tell them I'm a reporter, they usually look like I'm about to ambush them with questions. SMH. They're both the SAME THING, people

Random question, my boss wants me to become a notary so I can handle notarizing all of the official documents myself. Has anyone else been asked to do this for their employer? Is it ethical?

I’m a manager and one of my direct reports makes more than me. It really bothers me. Anyone else been in this situation before? What’s the best way to handle it?

Do you have any tips for managing up? I’m a midlevel. Often times partners are sitting on the docs before they confirm sign off or provide comments. This is sometimes a problem when clients want to close asap (they send chasers, etc).

DAE feel like this profession requires you to basically be perfect all the time? Manage internal reputation. Manage external reputation. Be social; don't embarrass yourself; but also don't just stay in your office; but also turn out good work product; also have hobbies so you're an "interesting" person who can talk to others; but also don't slip up and say the wrong thing. And "the firm" is always watching for those things.

I’m very fortunate to have received a wonderful review with really high praise from every partner I’ve worked with. A slightly weird question, but is it proper etiquette to thank each partner for their kind words?

Is it just me or does your manager also sometimes tends to ignore you post a not so successful client meeting?

I thought that too of some of the middle eastern and Caribbean island managers I worked with on a job once, but they turned out to be the most supportive and inquisitive. But I feel ya, sometimes you can sense if they'll be hostile toward you. But I don't give af at this point. In the end, they're still professionals working for Big 4 and probably won't dare say anything to you about it, even if it does bother them. Way I see it, ignorant people like that don't go very far working in our industry.

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!

I think that Judge Steve Harvey is the best TV show I've ever seen. It's an amazing satire of the judicial process.

Example: Steelers fan destroys Browns fan's jersey. Steve Harvey pays for the replacement jersey himself (this time it's autographed). The Steelers fan is forced to go to 2 browns-steelers games and wear browns attire. What a verdict.

How do I get out of tax

Dealing with uncooperative client. I don’t understand how some people can run their own business when (1) They don’t know how to use a computer but can email; (2) Don’t have a P&L to provide. I can’t complete their SCH C. They claim they snail mailed it but nothing was received. They can’t use a fax because they don’t have a fax machine. They don’t know how to use the attachment feature on email. They provided it last year why not this year. Happy Friday! I’m going to cry.
