Delivery manager wanted me to create a white paper on having access to Cisco and the 3rd party client. She then told me on a Webex call that I couldn’t discuss it with anyone. What? I was new and didn’t have all my access. The next call she tells me she didn’t tell me I couldn’t discuss with anyone.

Found out the contractor before me had already made the document. And someone else made a document too.

My manager came back from vacation and was like why are you doing this? Agreed.

I literally said to her I don't want to work on "The Penske File" which is a Seinfeld reference.

The delivery manager had worked at the same company I came from. After talking to my contacts they said she wasn’t very good at her job and was a flake.

She thought wearing silly hats on Friday was team building. I thought she was out of her depth and perhaps needed counseling.

My manager made it be known that the DM was not that good well as she didn’t quite know when to shut up and let engineers work through problems. She was lucky she got let go from our former company during the pandemic where it was an applicant market.

The manager took the assignment away. She apologized. I was gone in a few weeks due the actual project I was hired for was put on hold.

My manager stressed it was nothing I had did.

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.
