How would you strategically approach this situation?

My amazing director recently left and intentionally told upper leadership not to promote the other person on my team due to her communication style. Since she left, my co-worker has been trying to micromanaging me and acting as if she was the dept lead and has stated to me her intent to take the position, even though they have already filled it.

I fear she is manipulating others and trying to block me from being seen as capable.

This sounds so unprofessional. I don’t think anyone can be taken seriously for being a bulldog. Let her hang herself. A true team player would standout in this situation. Just be professional and don’t play into it. Confronting her with management is an option but it makes you look immature and silly and incapable of seeing the big picture of what’s best for your team or company

Also her style of communication is very apparent. Discretion is important and alert management if it gets too intense.

Please who knows about the advisory practice within the PwC financial crime unit (Canada Acceleration Centre)? I understand it is a client non-facing advisory role.

I am concerned about the negative reviews relating to the PwC acceleration centres in general, and getting stuck in a role which does not provide growth opportunities. Thank you.
