I lead a pretty good size team. One of the managers that I have under me, manages a team of 6 writers. This manager literally bites his nails/nail beds every day. Like to the point where they bleed. We are all grossed out and I cannot find a way to approach this conversation. Looking for tips or suggestions!

It’s horrible when a group’s directors and senior managers only got there based on individual performance and not from their ability to lead a team. Ive had so many of my “leaders” hang me to dry and fend for myself in front of clients.

I'm about to give my 2 weeks. I have been with Big4 for 18 months now. My dream type company offered me a position.

The main partner I work for is constantly trying to set “legal traps” to see if I fall into them. For example, he ask me a specific legal question (to which he already knows the answer) to see if I am able to deliver. I’m so nervous now (this has been going on for over a year) that I often end up falling into his trap by doing (stupid) mistakes. What do you advise me to do? My self confidence is slowly getting destroyed. This does not happen with other partners.

Anyone have recommendations on how to handle being reassigned to a new boss in your org? I have no interaction with this person and have always worked directly for the CoFounder. More often than not, he comes to me for advice since I’m significantly more experienced with our company’s product. I personally think he is inept and a bullshitter. I also know this could be my ego getting in the way, but every time I see him I’m mad. I think our middle managers have personal goals overs company ones

Ok I recently moved from Seattle to Auckland for work, and everything's been great except for one thing. I feel really rude and stupid even complaining about this but I'm not used to talking to and making small talk with so many strangers daily. In Seattle you maybe say hello to the person you buy your paper from and here I'm getting into discussions with people while I wait for a red light. Everyone is so nice but I'm exhausted! What's a polite way to say I can't talk right now?
