I’m up for senior manager. It’s important to me that I get it. I am starting to get anxious and like stressed. How do I stop it? The decisions have probably already been made and they will be announced in a few months. I just want to stop stressing. How do I do that? I also have a senior under me that constantly asks me questions. Like I took it today, but going forward I’m going to tell him I’m in the middle of something and to please consolidate his questions in an email. It’s just so annoying

Are you in audit? If so, the decision is probably not made. You need to be your biggest advocate - why do you want this and deserve it. And make sure people know you want it and why you deserve it.

In regards to the senior - it’s pretty simple to tell him to consolidate his questions - that’s normal. However, I would say I’m finding more and more discrepancy in levels working together. I just worked on a huge project with an A2 only (I’m an experienced director). At the end of the days I was literally wiped out by the questions but I tried to tell myself that as difficult it was for me, it was probably equally difficult if not more for an A2 to work directly with a director.

If you are “time in grade” and decent at your job there is a 90% success rate at getting promoted. Don’t stress. If this is an early promotion, one year in the grand scheme of a 40 year career is really not a big deal and not worth the stress.

As for the senior…all managers have different styles so just tell him yours. I’m with you - I hate getting ad hoc pings constantly asking random questions while I’m trying to focus on something else. Might want to have a 15 minute call in the morning and a 15 minute call at the end of the day where he can fire off questions. But you can’t blame him unless you communicate your style.

I accepted a new job with a local district through my state DPH. I was excited and a little nervous at first. It's my first full-time position in several years and I will have state benefits along with "regular" hours. No more shift work. Unfortunately I am hearing some not so good opinions about management. I'm trying not to listen and make my own decisions based off experience-not word of mouth, but I'm beginning to worry. Anyone have any experience with something similar or working DPH?
