Is your partner’s ice breaker fun fact that she loves hot dogs? bc if so, I loathe them too
I loathe anyone who does ice breakers or fun facts.

There’s a book about divorce called something like “too bad to stay, too good to leave.”
You need to figure this out and decide a path, can it be fixed? Do you even want to fix it?
To be brutally honest, you’re wasting your time screaming into Fishbowl. You should figure this out swiftly. The process will stand to you for your whole career.
My post was a little too brutally honest. Forgive me! FWIW, I think you probably know in your gut what you need to do. The very best wishes to you!
A few questions.
1) how did you get paired up? Have you always been partners? Did you get paired up when you joined the agency? Did you partner leave and they came in?
- if you didn’t choose your partner, I think it’s worth having a convo of “what do you want from this job?” Or “what’s the end goal here.” Get a gauge of where they’re at and vent your frustrations in a professional manner.
- If you did choose the partner, is this new behavior or Have they just always been this way? Find out if something happened in their life that triggered them to stop caring. Remember - people are human outside of work and deal with real stuff outside the office. So if this was a sudden change, then it could be a part of a bigger issue.
All that said, if you have a convo and nothing works, then start detailing out situations where they dropped the ball. Keep notes and records. Not “they distracted on zoom by showing their dog” - actual situations that directly impacted the work, then go to you ECD or whomever and have a talk.
