Yes and it didn’t go well. Complaining about anything rarely does. No matter how toxic the other person is, they assume that you are a complainer… and that you didn’t do everything you could to make the situation work on your own (even if you did). Forever tainted my time with that agency, all because they teamed me with a sociopath. My advice is to tread carefully. The best solution might be a different agency.

Yep. And eventually was moved to a different piece of business. It was a toxic account director. My mental health and energy immediately shifted in a positive way once I was no longer having to interact or try to collaborate with them.

Hey folks, A person who is more experienced than our team members showing unnecessary interest in some work related to project and torturing us who is 2/3 yrs less experienced than that person. He acts as if he is superior and nobody will actually care. I thought of reporting the concern to my delivery lead or manager of the account, but stepped back thinking of later happenings. The project is good but this person is making team sick and actually making it a toxic environment. Any suggestions?
