Feeling so frustrated with the work my director is asking me to do. Being less experienced, I often feel like I don’t bring much to the table and when I try I’m overstepped and dismissed. It makes me feel like I’m misguided in my solutions. Feel like I’m working hard for nothing to show :(

I had this same problem where my manager would simply take my 5 hours of work, and improve/fix it all in a few minutes. As long as your director isn’t concerned with your performance, use it as a learning opportunity. Take their advice/edits/comments/conversations constructively and think about you might have come to their solutions instead. Definitely a common feeling for new consultants.

I’m brand new and I felt the same at first but then remember that we are so new and young. Imagine what we could accomplish in a few years by learning. The goal is to be better than your boss.

My boss told me it would take 2 years to fully kick in. It’s a learning curve. One day you will just wake up and it will all come naturally.

I’m in a similar boat. My manager tells me it comes with time but I know it feels daunting

I made the mistake of trying to learn things i wasnt passionate about. 10 yrs later i regret it. I wish i had stuck to what i believed was the right path instead of others dictating my “learning path” to fit their immediate needs. Dont go by bullshit ideas. Even if u fail, you will have a learning. Better learn it that way where you cannot blame anyone else but yourself. Its better that way because at least you wont feel victimized or harbor resentment. Given current conditions, be strategic.

I am so tired of being treated like an assistant and I’m at a loss on how to correct it. My coworkers are generally nice, but while I watch white (usually male) associates at my level or even more junior get substantive work, I’m still receiving administrative tasks as a mid-level. Appreciate any advice.

I'm a fresh grad and I thought this would be my dream job... I became the 3rd team member in this location and the regional team leader helped me understand and learned a lot... Until about 4 months down the line, he announced to quit. It's about half of year now since I started to feel ever so alone, hopeless and helpless in the team. The actual work is within my capability, but takes me ages to learn coz the overall team is not so collaborative and lacks communication... Maybe I need anew job

Junior here. How common is it to be nudged off a brief when you can't get ideas through internally? My partner and I are often put on the same briefs as more experienced (sometimes senior) teams. As a result, their work tends to make it through to the client presentation while most of ours dies somewhere along the way from CD to CCO. Is this worth worrying over?

Crazy ethics issue. Client 1 has VPO against man who later becomes Client 2. This is the 4th VPO this year, previous ones dismissed.

In the meantime, State has filed rape charges against man who becomes Client 2 and A/B charges against Client 1. Client 1 also files for divorce.

Clients reconcile (which is how they both end up clients...) and want VPO dismissed, divorce dismissed, and criminal charges dismissed.

DHS gets involved and want to remove the child from Client 1's custody. (1/2)

I have a 5-year-old and we recently moved in with my boyfriend (40s, divorced, no kids). He’s trying, which I appreciate, but he has very little patience or tolerance for a rambunctious kid. I have a demanding career so my bf has encouraged me to lean on him more, but I feel like he makes it obvious he finds my son annoying. He just has no parental instinct and they’re clearly not comfortable around each other so I never ask for his help or push them to spend time together. I want us to be a happy blended family but even I don’t know the right thing to do at this point to get there. Any advice?
