I'm back in the industry. One of my hired consultants (mid level) talked bad about me. What can I do to make his life miserable?

Get him rolled off the case

Well, if you’re as bad as he says, then just work with him, it will make his life difficult.

Send him on a wild goose chase hunting down data that doesn’t exist. Keep insisting it does.

Schedule emails asking for a deliverable to send between about 9 - 10PM. Follow up with a subsequent meeting invite for first thing the next morning to review.

Wow thank you all. This has made me feel better already 🤣. I'll let it go.

No need for misery. Just tell his project lead to roll this person off. If they ask why, tell them that you found out they were badmouthing you and you found out.

This. As the client you have so much more power than you realize, and the instrument you exercise it through is the engagement lead, not through personal vindictiveness.

Also in industry and have consultants that do 🤡 behavior like this. My honest advice would be to let it go, this ain’t worth your time or your political capital of having someone roll off. When you were a consultant I’m sure you talked bad about your clients from time to time as well.

Go to office when he's there
Reach 5 minutes late to a meeting with him
Say you had car trouble and ask for his help
Head down to the parking lot with him
Give him a 20$ and send him to fetch some blinker fluid

Have him rolled off the case if you’re sure he did what you allege. But also consider giving him a chance to come clean and explain himself (if you’re better than the average client).

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.
