Curious to get people’s take on this. If you’re a senior level non mgmt employee, do you think it’s appropriate or courteous to meet your potential future boss if the company is hiring someone to manage you and the campaigns you work on? I can see how it might be weird but why wouldnt a company want to evaluate dynamics and synergies?

Director level.

Definitely! I’ve met with Director level candidates the head of my department was interviewing as a junior employee. Mine were more informal / meet and greet style. I was surprised when asked to participate but very much appreciated it for those reasons: gauging dynamics & synergies.

Depends on how many people the person has to meet. I’ve been on both sides of it and it can be nearly impossible to get a leadership team to agree on who they want to bring into their inner circle. And by the time they agree they might not want to put them through another interview.

smart

Agree with you and the above. However, keep in mind the underlying message from your higher ups may be that you don’t have a say in the matter.

What level are you?

How do I nicely tell a director (not the one I report to) that I don’t want to work on a project that she’s trying to get me on? My manager and I already had a conversation about me not working on this specific thing (he and I both agree it isn’t something that’ll help my case for promotion, doesn’t need three people working on it, etc). Manager said he’d talk to her but it isn’t sinking in…
