Have any of you worked with team members / managers who take your work and sell it on, like it’s theirs to the broader stakeholders. How do you navigate around that?

Team members or managers? These two are different in this situation. Managers think through your workstream with you, check your work, plan your work. A good manager would acknowledge everyone who worked on a piece of work but gets to discuss the work with stakeholders.

Stakeholder management is a manager’s job and that sometimes means discussing your work without you being present or you leading the discussion

Maybe I’m one of those people? If you’re talking about this as client facing selling, we all work for the same company. There is no such thing as “your” work. Deloitte owns that work product and as far as I’m concerned it’s “our” work. Same goes for other people. I “do work,” but that is Deloitte’s work and as far as external clients are concerned I don’t care if someone makes a pass at having done the work.

Now, if you’re trying to take credit for my work in front of a PMD / in an internal setting, then gloves are off.

Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!

A nice comfortable office chair.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

Just got a lateral hire offer for a Sr Associate role with BCG. Contract states that I can go for Consultant promo in 12 months. I'm interpreting this as, if I don't make the promo threshold in 12 months, I'd be counseled out. Is this a reasonable assumption? Or would I get a few more months of time to work on feedback?
