Coworker (we’re the same level) has a tendency to use “I” statements and then proceeds to present the entire deck that we both contributed to equally…. So annoyed. How to get across to our bosses that I worked on it too?

I agree with what everyone says. Your bosses know. But if you want to underscore what an idiot this person is, when you were presenting, say ‘we’ because it will make them look like a self-centered moron.

I would give the benefit of the doubt and say your partner isn’t used to saying “we”.

Be more assertive. Tell your partner to cut it out and divide up the deck prior to the meeting.

Red flag.

You should be deciding who's presenting what before the presso. And you can feel free to quickly chime in to expand on or add whatever you feel was left out. Everyone I worked with does it so it's not out of the ordinary.

When do you think associates are usually let go in small practice groups that are currently being overwhelmed with work? Is it when it starts to slows down or when they already have a candidate to replace you? Just trying to figure out how long I have after annoying a partner 😂.

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
