How do you deal with unresponsive managers? I recently started working with one that doesn’t seem to have time. I get emails with tasking but unsure if I’m heading in the direction their wanting. When I ask to have a check-in they’re too busy too. How do I avoid have this potential negative impact? I’m up for promotion and don’t want this to hinder me.

Send a follow up message. Specifically indicate that it is a follow-up ask. Confirm that they are healthy and able through other team members. For this, I reach out to PMO. If they still don’t respond call them directly and inquire about their well-being. Still no response - ask their super. Make it a well being inquiry. Then you know what to do. Good luck.

Second year associate, started at a new firm recently and got put on a fast paced transaction. Made mistakes (drafting errors and tardiness to a call) that feel irredeemable… although no one has scolded me yet. As we move into next phase of the transaction the senior associate on the deal asked to meet 1-1 to discuss “logistics” and “my time/role” on the transaction. . .

Any advice on how to handle in the instance that I receive negative feedback during this conversation?
