I don’t think my business chemistry with this manager is compatible, yesterday he was giving me praises and today he yelled at me for being too driving without considering his feeling. What’s the best

OP - there’s no business chemistry combo that’s totally incompatible. Some combos just take more effort. Get yourself a couple of drinks tonight, and early next week, find a time to have a convo with your manager explaining that you were a bit blindsided last week by the praise quickly followed by criticism. Ask if he could explain more. It’s possible he was under fire from other quarters today that you weren’t aware of. P.S. Did the manager actually “yell”?

Genuine question. Sometimes “yell” is used figuratively rather than literally. Harsh, M1

I don’t understand the comment “hurt his feelings”.. did you send something without review? Some people are just mentally unstable after a few years in consulting but other times there may be a reason behind the “crazy”. I understand some behaviours better today as seasoned M, that I used to curse ppl for when I was a C / SC... M takes a lot of heat that you guys just don’t see

OP I was in a similar situation a couple months ago - Manager was not only messing up consistently, but also was very rude to the client (told our sponsor to shut up in front of a large audience).

... on technical delivery. It wasn't smooth but it ended up working out really well as our strengths ended up being very complimentary. Our engagement ended successful internally and with the client
