Looking for input on how to handle a direct leader that is hot &cold. 1 yr ago my leader promoted me & has indicated she wants to mentor me to take her role when she retires (director). However, her behavior towards me changes from week to week, sometimes she is very supportive and encouraging then she switches to making critical or harsh indirect comments that are not about the results of my work but imply she would do it differently. How would you handle approaching this with your superior?

I have a face to face interview tomorrow and was wondering what the thoughts were wearing a nice knitted sweater instead of a blazer for an interview.

Financially, it’s the best position I been in. But mentally in this environment, it’s depressing & slow. Nothing innovative or engaging. What would you do?

The PE culture is sick. The 20 something VP was rude to our partner because our team took thanksgiving and the day before off and it was in the engagement letter that we were gonna be off.
