Friend was staffed on client with a terrible senior manager who isn’t a very nice person, they left. Come to find out, I’m about to be staffed on the engagement and I don’t even want to be. If things go badly, can I just leave to another team?

its our life, cut loss and move on if necessary😈

You might have a better experience with the SM, or maybe you’re better or more mature about communicating with them in a way that creates a better relationship than your friend had. But yes, if your experience is terrible there are things you can do other than quit (talk to the partner, talk to your counselor, express interest in a different client/industry, etc).

I think you should give people a chance - I've worked with people who others said were a nightmare, and actually, they were really smart and I learned a lot (although their people skills needed honing!). However, if everyone finds them awful, maybe ask to work on another project!

what if its the reverse? their people skills are awesome but they are dumb🤣

What EY2 said. Also, it’s entirely possible their personalities weren’t a right fit or May be your friend was in the fault, but it’s hard to see that for you or even have all the info for you. I have realized that friends at work typically give one-sided stories and there’s more to it usually that you don’t find out until you actually work with the friend. Give the SM a chance and go in with an open mind to see the best in them.

Honestly I’d want to know this as an RM… I’d bring this up to your career counselor as a concern. Maybe they’ll bring it up to your RM. I think my managers would bring it up to me. It would indicate a management problem and I’d escalate it to the partner if a SM is causing people to quit. Btw what firm bc is this my group? 😂

I’ve found that it’s quite easy to avoid working with someone. Just talk to partner or whomever can make it happen. They won’t ask for more details than necessary. I learned that it really isn’t a big deal. (Though some partners will try to convince you otherwise on account of career growth).

You only listen to one side story from your friend. Its quite unfair to the senior manager.
