How do you deal with a teammate that dumps all the work they’re supposed to be doing onto you? This teammate is at a higher position than me at the firm and friends with the project manager.

Tell PM you’re workload and ask for assistance without complaining about teammate dumping work. State it neutrally, such as, “you’ve assigned me this and X has assigned me this, but I have capacity for ___. How should I prioritize?

Except for the typo - autocorrect, inattention, and time limit to edit to blame!

I’ll ask what your bandwidth is and what you’re working on first. You have to be able to deal with some reprioritization occasionally.

Odds are I was just asked to work on something new too.

Hi fishes 😊
Anyone interviewed recently for a PM position at Adobe or just works there? I had the 2nd round and I know the next will involve me presenting a business case to a panel of 5.

1. Any idea of what the business case can be?
2. What is their general outlook on parental leave? In the 2nd round I basically told them that I am pregnant and willgo on mat leave in March. I wonder if I will be dismissed just because of this or I still have a chance...

Any thoughts?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
