I appreciate you all! Thanks for being here.

My favorite Manager thanked me often. Since they transferred to a different office, their replacements have never once thanked me, I feel underappreciated and my feelings are hurt. Remember it's the small things that can make a big difference.

It’s money to you; you’re spending your own hard earned money to make up for your firms shortcomings, my dude

My manager in industry never took me to lunch during onboarding or my 2 years at the company. It does have an impact.

That is so true! my gig in industry had lots of lunches and happy hours paid by my manager. Very important to keep us well fed

You are right. When they are used to you doing so much, your hard work is not noticeable anymore. As soon as someone else do a little, they get Kudos and get praised.

OK Peggy, we have gone over this

My colleague at work who’s in the junior parallel role / receptionist just drives me crazy. As a Marketing specialist, I oversee our social pages + following on requests from there. Yesterday she said - “Maybe you could also reply to all requests on our general customer email?” I said I don’t know how to prioritise with my main responsibilities - boss and big boss present and stayed silent. Poor time management / ignorance / passive aggression? Feel pity for her! 😡

Hi. What do you do with a gaslighting boss and coworker in a small office? I also don’t feel like my boss even cares about me.

Makes me feel like a burden for taking care of my health, etc. and gaslights me regularly!

Is it silly to want to feel valued by my Partner/Practice Leader?

He rewards me well rating/comp-wise, gives me a lot of latitude etc but OTOH I constantly get blown off for check-ins, multiple emails ignored, excluded from some conversations that might be relevant for me, etc.

Maybe it’s just normal Partner behavior and I should grow a thicker skin, but generally feel emotionally disconnected from him and that my portfolio of work is not integral, or is an afterthought, to the practice.
