Loll what do you mean?

You can be a great consultant as a contrarian...I think most of the really special, non-boring consultants are, actually. But don’t tip over the line from contrarian into negative/toxic.

I’ve become known as the no bullshit guy that always tells the client and management what he thinks. I’m never disrespectful and always follow orders no matter what, and as my performance is consistently great I’ve never had anyone tell me they would have it any other way.

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar.

However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that I’m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)
