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.

I have a friend who just started a new job-went from a big ad agency to a small start up. The boss at the new job wants to create the company website to show generic work. No actual clients, just work with made up company names. They have many clients that they work with-but won’t show them online. I have never heard of this? Why would someone do that? Isn’t it counterproductive to show fake companies and work? How can they discourage their boss that’s not a good idea without offending them?

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
