Hi I am an AD. Question for you all: Is it reasonable for a copywriter to provide guidance to a photographer before I speak with him? Or trying to write a brief that requires visual guidance before discussing it with me? I feel quite useless and I feel like I come across poorly in front of my bosses. This individual always seems to preempt everything I say. We've been working together as partners for a few years now and I’m losing it. I hate the fact that no one knows the true side of him but me

Tips for working with passive aggressive/rude manager?

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.

I’m a young(ish) male running a private practice. Been with the group a year and a half and haven’t exactly gelled with some of the older employees. We’ve made tremendous financial improvements but in a meeting last night one of the physicians stated, in front of me, maybe we shouldn’t have hired a young guy to run the practice….I can’t think of a more passive aggressive way to ask someone to leave.
