How do you deal with someone who you just don't work well with? This Sr in my office stresses me out and every project that I have worked on with him has unnecessarily sucked.

I just suck it up. I’m miserable

I had a senior like that. The way I dealt with it was that whenever he told me he would do something ie. “I’ll ask the client about that today” I would leave a work paper note saying “(senior) to ask (client) about x” and that way there would be a date and time when he said that recorded in the binder. Idk about EY but at moss, seniors can’t delete binder notes. So the manager / SM/ partner could all see that note and know that he was supposed to do that a month ago and he didn’t

That’s really frustrating. Start getting the manager more involved, copying him on emails, including what the sr said they’d do in your status updates etc

Don’t recommend

This guy pushes everything to me and then he suddenly wants me to work weekends and eat my time when he decides to start to work on the project again. The issues that caused overages on the budget could have easily been avoided had he taken 5 minutes 3 months ago and worked it out with the client.

Damn you guys still do binders?

GT hopefully you know these aren’t physical binders? Just what the collection of client work papers are called in our software

Send out daily updates. Make everyone aware of what is being or not being done and by whom. This way it is back on the sr to do.

Having the same issue except with 3 of my seniors. God they are awful haha. Not sure how I got paired up with them and the other first years got the other 6 cool ones. Oh well 🤷‍♀️😅

I would talk to your engagement team leaders if you’re comfortable with it. This once happened to me (the other person was a mew staff), and I sucked it up. We ended up having some issues before the staff got transferred to another team. It was emotionally exhausting. My supervisors had no idea until I told them. They said if they had known things could have been dealt with differently.
