Director asks to continuously help with proposals and what not without ever sharing credit. Finally told him to go fuck himself! Don’t want to work for leaders who don’t know how to value ppl.

How'd that work out for you?

Folks - just to clarify, those were not the exact words I used obviously. But it was high time ppl like this understand how to value that do work for them - be it a manager, director or a principal. I am a high performing manager, but I too have my limitations, tired of spending hours on things and not being part of the end discussion etc. sorry for the rant, but essentially it was important and should be important for folks to push back to directors and not let folks take you for a ride (as is the status quo in consulting)

I’m sure there is some exaggeration here. But honestly I don’t disagree with OP. Directors tend to run to the same people for Help on this stuff- give credit where credit is due. Especially for weekend and urgent work.

Is anyone here a high-performing contractor who has had their job responsibilities recently restricted? I have worked as a contractor for the same client for 8+ years and in the past my client manager included me as a team member and asked my inputs (due to expertise) or efforts for most tasks. Now contractor compliance is to the letter, my job is way restricted, I am treated like I am second class. This has trashed my self confidence and I super resent it.
