No -that's not rude. they might not realize how loud and distracting they are. Hopefully that will be enough for them to tone things down. I work with very loud people, so I feel this to my core - lol

No not rude at all! I’d want some respect around me and if your office is open that’s not your fault. Respect people around you especially when they’re trying to care for the population!

How do I nicely tell a director (not the one I report to) that I don’t want to work on a project that she’s trying to get me on? My manager and I already had a conversation about me not working on this specific thing (he and I both agree it isn’t something that’ll help my case for promotion, doesn’t need three people working on it, etc). Manager said he’d talk to her but it isn’t sinking in…

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2.

I have an attorney involved working with me on an appeal, but I’m really nervous and feel that I morally made the right decisions in the situation that I faced.
