I swear some of the clients at Coke are some of the worst people to work for. So entitled, condescending and often rude. I try and not take it personally because it's a reflection of their company culture, but some days are very hard.

Well they're doing God's work selling sugar water. But yes, it's the corporate culture. I was in a town hall meeting where a very senor marketing exec started crying about how significant it was that he had told his two young kids about the new flavors of Powerade.

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
