I just wanna say: never underestimate the ability of a toxic partner to infect an entire team and how much it will affect your well-being. I just got out and it is INCREDIBLE. You are not crazy, and you deserve better. Be strong. Stay true to yourself, and look for your exit.

Same applies to managers. You don’t quit a job; you quit a manager.

Is it wrong to quit when the toxic partner is toxic femininitying the senior associate, and as a noob associate you haven’t had the one-on-one pleasure yet (but undoubtedly will with enough time)?

Agree, A3. The idea that only one gender is capable of being toxic is absurd.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?
