I am having a very hard time getting along with and getting support from my manager. I had enough today and mentioned I was struggling with his management style to the other manager on my team. Now I’m having anxiety over it. Please advise.

Feedback is a gift. However, it needs to specific, not personal or emotional, and actionable. “I don’t like your management style” isn’t useful feedback. Identify the major actions you dislike and what you think your manager should do. Set up a one on one and ask to exchange feedback. Acknowledge that the working relationship has been problematic and seek improvement. You can get better and so can they.

I wouldn’t talk about one manager to another unless they’re your career advisor and there’s a notion of confidentiality. I would set a time to discuss this with the manager. I would have soMe points written down and rehearsed. This is the most honest and direct way of handling it as well as a time to grow in direct professional communication

Tell your PML. They can help coach you through this, and work to switch teams if necessary

You shouldn't feel anxiety, giving feedback is necessary so you did the right thing. The manager can't retaliate on your feedback otherwise he/she can get in trouble. I know at pwc We have ethics hotline and policies to protect employees from upper management retaliation (for reporting them), I'm sure kpmg should have something similar?

Worked with a senior a couple years back that recently switched to FDD from audit (internal transfer) — I’m rated a high performer and would like to make the jump and I’m thinking about reaching out to him about the process, does anyone have any advice about how to go about this?

I worked at LinkedIn and one of the senior leaders was sharing screen during a meeting. The conversation shifted but the leader didn’t stop sharing screen. This person navigated to Yahoo news and clicked on an article filled with women in bikinis. This individual spent a solid 2-3 mins on the article scrolling and stopping to look at each woman. Needless to say this leader was very distracted by other things on our call.

There’s a corporate partner that was a big-time lateral hire. He is always out of the loop on the deals and hands off on everything BUT any time there is a client call, he tries to provide input that is very off base (i.e., stating incorrect facts, creating inapplicable hypotheticals, or being an alarmist on items were previous addressed). It makes me cringe every time because the partner from a different corporate group has to cover his gaffes on the call. Has anyone run into this situation?

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

Has anybody had this same experience? Does anybody know the cause? Finally, does anybody have any helpful tips?

My firm has ~50 attorneys and is the best in the field. all decisions are made by one man, eg bonuses, raises, promotions. There is no transparency. The only objective measure might have been billing. The billing requirement is 1900/ yr, but a total of ~200 hours are no-charged automatically, and he goes after closing the case and no charges hours based on factors unknown. The result is that no one can track their own billables, and the criteria for bonuses are a mystery. Is this normal?
