Hello everyone! Looking for advice. I work in a field office that we share with our client. In this instance, I needed to get an approval because an executive on the client wanted it done ASAP. I pushed for an approval from another exec (who knew the previous exec wanted it done ASAP) and the second executive freaked out and chewed me out that he can’t drop everything, has other priorities and he’s the client. The first exec has a higher rank. Do I apologize to the one who yelled at me?

My boss (atty) is so disorganized! I’ve been with him 6 months and he’s having a hard time delegating, sharing info and managing deadlines. I’ve organized the caseload to manage the deadlines. He says he wants me to help with discovery but when I offer to start on one, he says he needs to do it. (Since he might have to present as evidence) When I give him deadlines and ask for the docs he says he’ll get to it. It’s a small 1 man firm, and I’m the first assistant besides his wife. Any advice?
