How do you deal w a toxic director? A partner reached out after hearing from someone else on the project that I was getting overworked + put in awkward situations. He knows I talked to him and who the other person is too. Essentially the partner only talked to me bc that team member is moving to another team + if I also leave, then it will make them look bad since the director has been reported before I can’t get out and he’s gaslighting me in meetings but I have my receipts so I push back.

CYA, get out of the situation, and don’t work with this person again. I might also suggest talking to a more senior role model or mentor to validate your experience and seek options for support. If the director is a known problem, trust me they won’t be around long.

The partner heard it from a director who heard about it from their mentee, who is on my team. The director has been reported before and has a known reputation for his behavior. I received multiple warnings from seniors and been referred to further “victims”. The partner himself has been to terrorize his juniors. They were all on each other’s client at one point and which includes the managers on my people team. They’re all in it together.

Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?

Hi everyone,

I’m in a pit of a pickle…I’m leading my very first project (case study) with a team of 5. We’re all in different countries and different time zones 😬

What do I need to include on the project plan/roadmap so there’s a clear understanding of what our goals are? How do I get everything to align for success and how do I keep everyone motivated?

I have a brand new person on my team- she is totally new to the field, has recently returned to the workforce (solo mom of 3 teens), is very smart. I knew when I hired her that I’d have to lean in to get her to where she needed to be. She has a ton of potential but lacks experience in a professional setting. I need to help her level up her written communication skills. Any suggestions on books, resources, strategies? She is learning by doing and takes feedback but I want more supports for her.
