Creatives, if I send you resources you asked for in an email or Slack and your response is to ask me send it to the PM instead, I immediately view you as a precious child. Don’t be a child.

Wow, that is definitely bratty. I once managed a junior who said to me “I’m kinda busy right now, can you do it?”

likefunny

I was in awe, stood there for a second, bit my tongue and said, “I’ll be right back.” I cooled off at my desk, then returned, and said, “[Junior’s name], come with me, let’s have a talk,” and we found a small conference room. I closed the door.

I then said, “I understand you are busy. The thing is, we are all busy here. See, if I do your task, then I won’t be able to finish [SUPER-important task]. Which affects us all. Then I’ll have to explain to [Creative Director] how I had to stop what I was doing to do *your* work. If you’d like, [Creative Director] is wrapping up a meeting now, would you like to come with me and explain to him why you want me to do your work? I’m ready right now.”

This worked like a charm.

Was previously working as an advisor growing a nice book and left to move 18hrs away to be close to family. I was pregnant and desperate to take what would move us and now I’m a planner working for FAs and I’m making $130k. Was fine at first while I got thru pregnancy but now I’m not happy & regret accepting the job and pay. I’m supporting others who are making 3-4times my salary. I have 10 yrs experience and CFP, often more than FAs I’m helping. Ask for more $$ or start over being an FA?

Hi Moms. I’m 4.5mo postpartum with my first, and I’m having incredible feelings of resentment toward my husband, who I love dearly and with whom I’ve always had a great relationship. It feels like he’s not factoring me or the baby into his decisions (e.g. going on a 4d boys trip, attending big events), while I’m left with the consequences. My mat leave is ending, and he’s now sick with COVID. He’s quarantining at my in-laws while I return to work and take care of baby. I’m so frustrated… (cont.)
