I’m constantly in reviews without my copywriting partner. Yesterday I was honest with her about my frustrations in her. She has a lot of work on her plate but I’m constantly picking up slack to make sure things work easily for her. But I’m sick of being the one in reviews while juggling my own work. This morning my CD and her made subtle remarks about the subject in front of the whole team (side note they do this when they want to talk shit about what other people say).

She still skipped things today so it feels like she isn’t taking my concerns seriously

Not sure I’m tracking. Your CD addressed the problem with her indirectly, or they don’t know there’s a problem?

Because, if she’s a junior, too, that’s up to your CD to fix. I’m sure they notice and don’t like that they’re making time to review her work but she can’t be bothered to show up busy or not.

Internal and client reviews are different. I’ve skipped those to focus on work and let my CD handle. But only rarely. It’s better to hear the feedback yourself so you know where it’s coming from.

Thank you! I will follow up with my manager and see how they feel about me expressing being loaded down with all the reviews and being a middleman type of person.

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

Another salesman told a client their ad campaign would be ready next week. Today our supervisor told me to help him, but he has hardly even started the work. Is there any way for me to point this out without feeling like a jerk
