How do you report a colleague if your superiors are just as bad?

Just as bad in what way? What are these people doing that you want to report?

I'm afraid there's little for you to do if even your superiors are rotten, might just want to consider trasnferring if possible

Sounds like the problem is your department as a whole then, little one person can do to change the entire culture there

Document every instance of bad behavior and create a paper trail. This could include writing down when and where the incident occurred, any witnesses who can confirm the occurrence, and documenting what took place. It is important to be thorough when recording and try to use specific details that could help support your case if needed.

You go to Human Resources and let them deal with the mess of a company they have.

If you can, it's important to document any misconduct in writing and speak to someone outside of the department or organization who may be able to provide support and advice, such as a labor attorney or human resources professional.

Depending on the nature of the misconduct, you may need to contact external authorities, such as local law enforcement or regulatory agencies, but I really hope it's not as bad.

It's important to seek out support from colleagues and mentors who you trust, in order to create a safe space for you if you decide to take action, and maybe some of them could back you up.

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂

If Joe can’t even do an unscripted interview or event, how can we expect him to run the country? Guess what, the world doesn’t follow a neatly orchestrated script, and bringing a teleprompter into meetings is generally frowned upon.

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?
