How do you go about project managing a dumpster fire of a project? Lead technical consultant is MIA, the juniors are not proactive and when I distribute work to them, they are consistently late. Also I am not the SME of the topic we’re consulting for and don’t have anyone to go to for technical guidance (since they’re always MIA). I’m drowning.

Escalte or reach out till you find that straw to latch on to. Some of the professional hazards we all have to deal with at some point in our careers. Good luck

Exaggerate deadlines within your team. Escalate immediately?

Don't sink with them. Escalate immediately.

Who do I escalate to and how do I escalate without badmouthing? Senior tech consultant is well known at company but I truly have no idea how they got to this level because they are mildly incompetent. And they are also my personal manager..sigh.

Hi all I'm looking for a referral to work for Thermo Fisher as a Project Manager. I have 13 years experience. Is there anyone who could help me out?

bizarre situation. Working w older male partner and younger male associate on precedent- setting litigation, super important to client. Client’s entire mission is this litigation. Older male partner and younger male associate are buddy buddy and blowing off all my concerns. I point out writing deficits, problems with our arguments, areas we need to tighten up and they see me as annoying and overly pedantic. Not sure if I should go to female dept chair abt this or just keep quiet.
