Hi Everyone!

I work as a strategy manager (EU) in an inhouse consulting team, my manager strategy director left the company and soon after that strategy manager for Americas left as well. Now, my new manager , senior strategy director for comex, wants me to hire a new manager to replace my colleague and he mentioned since I am more involved on the strategy side of things it makes sense new manager reports to me, which I agreed on. But he kept it little vague that if the new manager we hire…

In my opinion: Be honest with the new candidate on the dynamics. You will most likely get the person who will stay long-term, being honest, vs. someone is coming in the door and getting blindsided on the dynamics and leave.

Apologies for long message, I kind of typed it when I was emotional.

Is too experienced then that person will report to my mama her but if not “too experienced” than to me. Also when we posted JD I was the hiring manager but now I see in the internal system he is the Hiring Manager. I weave my first round of interview scheduled next Monday and I would like clarity if I am the hiring manager or not before taking interview to not give confusing message to candidate. Also, I feel like if I am not the Hiring mananger, I will still have to do a lot more work to onboard person , since I am the most senior strategy person in the team. How should I bring it up to my manager? I was planning to tell him that I am willing to take responsibility but would need promotion for added responsibility and also to have clear hierarchy so Manager doesn’t report to another manager. I fear if I ask that he will just say , yea it’s ok that person will report to me but I will still have to do most of the onboarding work because my manager is not involved in strategy side of projects.

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my company’s HR team. In an informal conversation, a senior HRBP, considered a peer, called 2 of our fellow HR colleagues “worthless.” I should have rebuked her then & there but was so caught off guard. This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?

I’m my partners only associate and I went on parental leave two weeks ago. I feel horrible for leaving him to handle our cases alone, but am trying to focus on my wife and new baby. That being said, should I still offer to handle minor matters that come in to ease the workload off my boss? He’s been super cool during my entire leave, so I don’t feel pressured to one bit.
