Has anyone ever dealt with a younger manager that talks down to you? I don't have a problem with younger managers, but I do have a problem with the "better than you" attitude so many of them seem to have when they boss older people around. It's especially grinding on me during the busy season.

If it were me I would try to raise it to the manager directly, if you think you can. If not or if that fails to improve things, I would talk to the PPMD on the account. Becoming a manager doesn’t require knowing how to manage people, but if this manager is treating everyone like this then that could turn into a retention issue for the firm and it’s best that the PPMD is aware of it.

Been through this. I was patient until … the “wannabe manager” crossed a line. Then, I learned it wasn’t just me. I was also kindly direct with this person and established how I expected to be treated. Well … after they crossed the line, I escalated with notes of offenses. It was handled.

As a seasoned manager, I agree with the other comments. Sometimes we don’t know what we are doing that isn’t received well! I’d talk with your manager openly and give him/her a chance to change.

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.

I think non-inclusive teams aren't revenue-efficient, but also aren't morally bad. Most just want to live in their bubble and not have their lives disrupted. If people want coworkers to talk football or cricket or fashion or LGBTQ+ rights with, that's entirely their prerogative. Companies and teams aren't just money printers, but also communities. You can't expect to fit into all communities.
