How do you guys deal with supervisors who don’t pull their own weight?You try to be a team player but each time they just throw you under the bus. Do I stop helping and let them fail?

Thank you, I’ve been debating about what to do and that helps. Everyone goes out of the way to help her but she ends up throwing each of staff and seniors under the bus with management. Firm won’t get rid of her so this is the only way. I just didn’t want to sound like B_. But if I must then so be it.

Just two years. Just got promoted to supervisor in January. Comes in the office one day a week. The other days it’s always an excuse as to why she can’t work. So far she’s missed 5+ months of crucial busy season time in behind pto or her some excuse everyday for not being able to work. Meanwhile in order to help out everyone on our team associates and seniors try to help move her projects along. When we get our performance comments made by her it’s always I get push back from staff and they become confrontational when that has never been the case. We are just trying to get things done and getting information from her is like pulling teeth. #difficult. When the partner asks why something isn’t done she doesn’t take ownership and say I didn’t do it she lies and says a staff has it that’s why it’s not done aka bus throwing. We get yelled at and reprimanded as a result of no fault of our own.

Colleague said “oh hello, who the fuck are you?” When I brought up what I guess was an unwanted opinion. This was years ago when I was more junior.

One of the most frustrating things is having the partner “de-prioritize” your deal. They stop responding to questions, take forever to review things you’ve sent them and act annoyed when you try to follow-up. Does anyone else experience this?

I love working at the bookstore and I'm proud to work with such a large group of people from different backgrounds. I'm really happy we're all here. But it probably isn't the best idea to get someone to reshelve books when they haven't been taught how to categorize them properly. It's like I spend most of the day following one of my coworkers around and discreetly fixing what he works on. He's a great guy, very personable, but wow is it frustrating.

One thing I like about my firm is that, if your intern sucks? You can just say they suck and they’ll get pulled off your job so you can focus on being efficient. I put considerable effort into 1: he’s never available, never finishes anything, never takes notes, doesn’t follow through on communication ever, zero initiative, and refuses to talk to anyone except 1 staff associate even when specifically directed otherwise. I can’t push pull or drag him if I tried (and I did). I don’t feel bad.

They don't lose their minds when Sarah gets bangs or whatever so I wish they could keep that same energy.
