What do you mean by “think deeply about it”? This is a weird statement. And he asks for a deliverable for what purpose? To review?
So he then sent an email asking to see your deliverable, and you responded that you would “think deeply about it”, copying in the partner and not your M/SM? This is.....weird.
I understand why you’re annoyed that this guy is inserting himself into your business, but instead of shooting out insane sounding emails, why not talk to your M or SM and see what the underlying reason is that he’s asking to see the document?
First — you aren’t in my practice. Second — my partner already told you not to review my deliverables because it’s not your practice area. Third — you did this in a group, where I was forced to say, “No” making me look like the bad guy.
What is that about? How do you keep a straight face when men do this? Do women do it, too? I have found women stay in their lane but men think they know everything.
I say no to shit like this all the time. To men and in front of a group. I’m not the asshole, you’re the asshole. I calmly explain that I’ve got several other deliverables that I need to prioritize and the earliest I could get it to you would be (insert some time I actually think I’ll be able to do something).
Way to say “No” and not cave to pressure! It sounds like you have valid reasons and the SM didn’t listen to what the Partner had previously discussed with him.
We are a team regardless of practice so I’m a bit confused about the situation. Where was your M/SM to say that’s out of your scope?
I feel like your comment was a bit far out... I would have said it differently. Asked more about is it a priority over all the other things on your plate? Or said, can we discuss with my partner after the call to prioritize as a team.
Where’s my M/SM 😂
Yes, we are a team, but when he decided to ask me about a potential deliverable that I out of his realm in front of the whole group — HE was choosing to not act as a team.
And my partner has straight up told him what the workflow is.
Yeah, I was snarky. 🤪
