I’m coaching a junior member of the team now and he often asks this kind of questions that drives me crazy: Should I put the same thing as last year in the WP? Is it all the same as last year? Last year they had this evidence but we don’t have this year, is it okay? I did explain the whole testing principles and logic, so why am I still getting this type of lazy questions?

I usually tell them the work last year wasn’t that great due to time constraints. We need to get better quality this year.

Sometimes, giving a checklist per control type can also be helpful with new comers .

It could also be “beginners nerves”! Some people dream about working for big 4 auditing. When you get there they may want to be perfect and over think everything

You may want to think about how to build confidence in his work and thought process

Just something to think about

Something is not sticking with the junior member, or you may have to explain it better. I find that you must adjust your coaching/training/mentoring approach to each individual - some can take what you give and run with it while others will require hand holding for a bit before they approach the work independently. I’d start by asking them if everything is ok.

Hi all. Today is one of those days where I am just really tired of proving myself. I'm a woman POC and the only brown person at my small firm. Owners are subtly racist and the men often treat me like their assistant. I also make a lot less than the male junior even though I have more YOE than him. Days like this really make me want to stop being a lawyer. I don't think I will ever find a firm where I am not treated this way.

My coworkers & I have a group chat. Fairly often, we do some griping about work. We also have fun convos, share dog pics, etc. Sometimes though, you just want to commiserate. One coworker frequently comments about how it could be worse, stay positive, her prior job was so much worse, etc. One of us had called her out twice. She’s cool otherwise (except for a need to educate people unnecessarily on a semi regular basis) but this is really souring my desire to maintain a relationship w her.

Aww, bummed to see this is a dead bowl. Anyone still around?? Getting ready for our first internal off-site and I haven't seen the rest of my team in person for almost 3 years now. I'm more nervous about the new folks that I have only met via Teams, including my 1st-ever direct report. I feel fine in my own skin most of the time but when I am in new and unfamiliar situations I get crazy body dysmorphia and super concious of my physicality. Any ideas on what I can I do to temper those feelings?

The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness." Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.
