To some degree, accept that the M in question may be someone you like personally but can’t stand from a work perspective. I love going for meals, drinks, sports games, etc with my current M, but he consistently disappears from the client site to take naps (in nursing rooms or other secret closets), day drinks / is hungover at least one day a week, and ultimately just doesn’t care at all about the work. So, love the guy from a personal standpoint, but have accepted we don’t mesh working style wise and I need to leave for another project.

Provide upward feedback that is honest and constructive. If it is a style issue not an effectiveness issue, suck it up.

The real answer is nothing. If you complain or try to talk about it, nothing will happen it will become more awkward and worse for you. You’ll be seen as a complainer and someone who can’t handle it. So just suck it up and hope to not work with them ever again!

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

Hi All,

I have a situation in front of me. I got an offer from small company or we could say startup company Uzio (pdt based) and my manager in current company didn't revert back with any retaining offer. It's been a month and 27 days left in np.
My dilemma is that my current team including reporting manager are very rude and not supportive. I don't want to work in this project. But if I join in that startup company, there's a risk as everyone is talking about recession, firing. Suggestions?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
