Nah, I don't even bother cause I've seen the way others get treated and I already know it wouldn't make a difference at all. I'll just stay in my lane.

Certainly. I start off by asking how they reached that decision, and then, (as long as I had proper documentation or I'm ready for the argument) I present my case. It hasn't always gone my way, but I felt better because I stood up for myself and what I believed in.

Yes. Document. Document. Document. If you’re going to openly disagree, you must be like C1 and be prepared to prove and state your case.

I did and it still didn’t end well. she was livid. Made it a point to talk anyone down from hiring me when the department was closing and we were all looking for new opportunities. I could see it on people’s faces as I attempted to network. I couldn’t believe it. I was young and naive and didn’t know how cut throat the finance industry could be.

I was on an upward trajectory and had incredible annual reviews. It was promising to say the least. But one year a new manager had it for me. I wasn’t sure why since we hardly interacted and I was her top performer. One year I contested my annual review and refused to sign it. I went over her head to her boss. Years later she muddied the waters and stopped me from moving to an AVP role and I was advised I wouldn’t be transitioning after all.

Problem I faced was she wanted me to take the fall for a process I knew nothing about but because it was technically a recon process she blamed me instead of owning that she didn’t assign or supervise the function.

I refused to take a newly developed role within her team and was given a severance package after 14 years of service right out of college. Pick your battles wisely.

Yup. Was laid off soon there after

Just had a very uncomfortable conversation with a partner. I have some time off booked to go to my brother’s wedding (I’m the best man). We were chatting and I mentioned that my brother’s future husband is so nice and really a great guy, and we already consider him a member of our family. Partner’s tone immediately shifts and as we’re ending the call he says, “Okay, enjoy the time with your family at the civil ceremony.” Like… girl you live in California, you cannot be this backward.

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise. I know he was the provider of the household and his wife didn't have a job since she was raising three young ones. Needless to say, I had to take off because I felt terrible, sick to my stomach. How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.

Appreciate any advice.

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬
