Just remind yourself that this project isn't forever, do the best you can and document everything. He if he tries to give you a bad score you can reference all the extra shit you did for him and the client on top of your roles and responsibilities. That happened to me once and after I gave him a deck of extra stuff and cc'd his manager, he apologizes and chased my rating (obviously it's also because I cc'd his boss in which he knew he couldn't say I was lazy of didn't do anything since I was and it was all laid on that deck)

Keep it professional. Don't feel like you owe them anything extra.

I'm dealing with the same situation. One of my managers is incompetent and takes all the credit for all the work I do while he sits on CNN all day. I just keep it as professional as possible, but I tend to let him stumble in meetings because he has no idea what he's doing 😎.

I’ve been working for a small investment firm for about a year and am having some issues with my boss. We have a weekly check-in but he’s ALWAYS 2-3 hours late, or skips the meeting altogether without warning. He also never replies to any of the emails I send. I already spoke with him about these issues, but things haven’t really changed. I really like the work I do but I’m starting to feel frustrated about the situation. Any advice? Or anyone else in a similar situation?

I'm trying to frame my answer to the leadership question. I once talked to my mom about how I was selected as CEO in a group project. It was because of my strong technical skills+connections(I already know 80% of the group)+activeness. My mom said that's exactly what she values in the professional setting. Can I answer the question in this way during interviews? I feel like it's not the common approach since this answer does not involve any specific actions, but could potentially stand out.

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?

Hi fishes!
