How do you get rid of a toxic team member? No one in leadership sees it, but everyone lower on the totem pole does. How do you get them off your project? Nothing but drama all the time. Disrespectful

Are you certain that removing he/ she from the team is beneficial to team productivity , learning and outcome? I ask because "Drama" is a byproduct of change or disruption. As you know, It can offer a positive or/ and negative impact for team, business innovation and growth. In business it's a natural part of change management and team development. So w/o context, first few questions to (evaluate) consider: why is it labelled as "drama"? by whom? What behavioral aspects are creating/ driving the "drama" and the corresponding perception of " disrespect"? What's the current impact? Assuming you are in a VP/MD role, Once you gain a clearer understanding, then you possess a clearer perspective and a wider framework to consider meaningful, appropriate, actionable strategies/solutions to prudently coach, manage and address it on your team. Hope this helps. I'm sure there are others who will/ can opine

Everybody knows this guy. He isn't a disruptor working for the greater good, he's an asshole who's a jerk to his peers and underlings but loved by senior management. My pop psych diagnosis is he's incredibly insecure, which drives him to be a perfectionist in his work in order to win praise from seniors. But he also has to push everyone around him down to look better and feel less threatened. It is toxic to the team, especially if that person is a manager himself, so why senior management values him over team moral is beyond me. Best advice is to not draw his fire by provoking him and hope he moves on quickly. There is no winning if you engage.

^^ that's a valid point. So to mitigate that negative impact and create accountability a common best practice implemented by decent number of teams are 360 feedback evaluations.

We get those all the time and all they are looking for is attention. We should never loose focus on our projects and goals. Just walk away!!

Whenever customers call the front desk, it seems like the receptionist always forwards them to my number even though I have reminded him there are several other people who are also supposed to answer the phones. It's really cutting into the time I can dedicate to other work. Is there anything I can do other than talking to our boss about it directly? I don't want to get the receptionist in trouble.

Have been at my new job for about 3 months now. At first the team was somewhat friendly and open to any questions I had. At this point I barely have any questions but if I do I basically get ignored and don’t get a response. Sometimes they can be cold and rude as well. I also feel there are still some things I need to learn and have no idea when they will get to training me on it. Not trying to take it personal but definitely feel on edge about it.

Since you all are wise, I have a question, not really a confession though…but I will add a confession at the end..

If you submit to a specific role at a large company and they reject you for the role you applied, would you still be on file if there are other roles that are a match? Or, do you have to apply to each role? I am thinking it is the latter.

Confession question…how often do you stalk exes or people you used to work with? Like someone will come to mind and I will immediately (cont)
