Dealing with a more junior team lead who is micromanaging and questions everything I do because we have different working styles and approaches. This is incredibly frustrating as I know what I am doing, but this person tries to block me at every turn and slow down my ability to do anything with launching team projects because she questions. Advice? She also pings me incessantly on Teams and I think that is becoming intrusive and purposefully done so I can’t think straight. I’m at my wit’s end.

Anyone get nervous before speaking in front of a group of people? I feel super embarrassed because sometimes when I’m super nervous my voice cracks and I’m worried other people can tell. Any strategies to fight this?

What are some ways to handle mental health flareups when I'm at the office, such as ptsd and anxiety issues, without bringing attention to myself? It happens quite often, and I'm working through it with a therapist, but I had to leave the room in the middle of a meeting the other day. This is very hard to talk about with my manager without opening up entirely about what I'm dealing with. And it honestly can't be getting in the way like this, workwise...

I think there should be more males caretakers in this world. Some of my clients just feel more comfortable with a guy and it's kind of sad how often they say I'm the only male they could find.

One partner is driving me insane. I CANNOT work with him. We are far enough in the case that it would take a lot of time for someone to take over for me but still early enough that the case will be going for another 2 years. Has anyone ever asked to be pulled from a case and is there a way to distance myself from this partner without hurting my reputation? 2nd year lit associate, partner is a jr partner in a different office but we cross staff a lot. TIA!

As a manager, how do you expect your employee to deal with a diffcult customer?

I had a disbarred attroney interview for a assistant position. The conduct was effectively she had emotional issues, abandoned her clients and then was disbarred.

She seems as if she got the help she needs and can move on productively. The pros are she can effectively do everything I do and she is cheep. (For obvious reasons).

I want to give her a chance am I making a deal with the devil?

Been with my firm for 3.5 years now, and I got a new job that starts in a few weeks and I'm too punk to announce that I'm leaving. Truth is I hate letting people down, and I also love my team.

I was called into HR because a coworker overheard a conversation between me and another colleague taking about cable/streaming shows that we watched or recorded. I mentioned that I recorded a few true-crime shows. My colleague jokingly said, "I hope I'm not on your hit-list!". I replied, "Not anymore." HR pulled me in to say a coworker complained about me talking about hit-lists, and they were now scared. HR wouldn't say who complained, so do I have a right to ask about the resolution to this?

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

How to deal with a junior designer that can only be negative on their critique? Is it a mindset or is it something that can be taught? Ideally designers should be able to help improve others’ ideas instead of just shitting on them and saying they don’t work or are wrong. As a lead designer, what can I do to help?

How many hours a week are you working? I’m generally clocking about 50-60 and I’m exhausted. I’m busy, but it’s mostly because no one I work with has any boundaries.

I’m 16 weeks and my doctor recommended AFP testing to determine neural defects. We already did NT and NIPT which came back low risk. She said it’s to determine if we need to be doing an early anatomy scan sooner than 20 weeks. Anyone else done the AFP testing? It caught me by surprise because she hadn’t mentioned it at any of our prior appointments

Dad had to get emergency open heart surgery over the weekend. Now me and my family are preparing to help him recover and determine what those next steps are.

While all that is happening, we’re working on a huge initiative at the agency and our client has been super anxious about it. That anxiety is coming down stream so I’m trying to do my best as the PM to alleviate the team’s concerns.

And today, I found out I got a raise.

It’s too much going on the last few days.

My partner is suffering from really bad depression and anxiety and it's so hard to concentrate on work when my home life is what needs the most attention. Wish I could take time off to help make him better.

I was depressed last year, did therapy and on antidepressants and got completely better. But now I’m feeling depressed again, even though I’m still on antidepressants.
Feeling stuck- will I always be battling this?

I enjoy what I do but It’s ultimately not good for my anxiety. Making good work at a competitive agency seems to come at the cost of my mental health.

Had to pull an all nighter and am convinced I will not make it through this day. Prayers are greatly appreciated.
