Welcome to investment banking? I get screamed at virtually everyday and it’s not even my fault sometimes - it’s the juniors on my team that mess up and don’t follow instructions

They don’t listen to me when I ask them to do anything. What do I do in this instance? That’s the issue at hand.

Can't believe how many people acting like this is the norm. Never see this happening at my firm and would frankly not be able to let it happen if I did see it. I get that the industry is stressful but there's just no excuse for treating people like this

Different country, different rules (this wasn’t in the US)

Excellent question, i dont know, hoping someone else has answers. When I kept quiet about it, it just escalated and got worse and worse to the point of disrespect from juniors and mgmt. when I speak up they complain that I’m being aggressive. I have no idea

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

I have been in an awkward reporting structure for 2.5 years. On record I’ve reported to the VP of Marketing, who was crazy toxic, and technologically inept.

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
