I hate my client to an unhealthy level. Literally fantasize about telling him what a fucking hack he is before quitting. Worst part is, he approves work that wins lions. Feel like a prisoner.

What does he do that makes him a hack or makes you hate him?

I feel you! I’ve been there too. Clients like that make you feel like it’s totally worth getting fired if you can just tell them off in an epic fashion. Sometimes awards aren’t worth it if the pay off is your daily happiness. Any chance you can start making moves to change your primary account? From your title I’m sure it wouldn’t happen quickly, but even just starting the process may make you feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel

Any advice on dealing with a particularly critical client? I’m confident in the work I and my partners do. I think we add value and are great at what we do. I have a client who just attacks everything I do and goes to my boss at the drop of a hat. I’m starting to experience significant anxiety every time I see an email from this person. This morning I woke up to another critical email to my boss with a copy to me. I’m at a loss and now questioning my work and concerned about my job.

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
