How to work with overachieving colleagues without working my heart out and being compared to them?

Do you guys give your boss's New Years' gifts? I'm thinking of doing one since I didn't give a holiday gift but thought it maybe weird

Kind of love my main client. She lowkey texts me when she steps away from calls to pee.

When you do a cut and you’re super excited and proud. And then the director weighs in and it gets even better! And then... the client makes it worse. And worse again. And worser still. Sigh.

Advice for attacking the data room and putting together my first sell-side disclosure schedules? (Baby M&A att’y 2 months in).

I told my boss about my ADHD in confidence because I was looking for a small accommodation (working from home x2 a week). I got it, but now I lowkey feel like she told other people in the office.

My coworker keeps leaving terrible jokes in the comments on our code, and some of them are vaguely sexist. Should I tell them to keep the code clean?

Do I have a case hère?. My job is
trying to push me to quit. I'm a shy
person and they make it seem like my
shyness is mean, they let everyone

months is too much. They're blaming
for loss of money in sales instead of
the sales rep. He goes behind my back
to complain to management about
me. They don't have an HR
department. Idk wat to do. I'm the
youngest person there and the only
POC. I feel small and cut off in
meetings

Dear Nappily Ever After,
No one has an office, much less an assistant. Creative and account are different jobs with their own dress codes. But dumb, off brief ideas by white creatives do win.

Can you lose your job if you don’t like the animosity from your creative team and speak up about it ? Genuinely worried I might be disrupting the peace by saying something 🥴 the anxiety is terrible! Do I just accept it that they don’t like me or speak up and potentially burn that bridge?

I am an acting senior and am training 3 new hires. They are not doing well, so I often re-do their works even after I give them 2 pages step by step instruction. The problem is my manager and director don't see the problems (because those problems happen behind the scene) and think all the A1s are performing exceptionally well. The A1s and I are all associates, so I don't even have a chance to give them an official feedback (snapshot at pwc). How to address this issue to my manager and director?
