In meeting this morning: Male CD grumbled about how “difficult” it is having 2 CDs on a project, meaning he and the woman who had just provided feedback. The woman being the Gcd, his boss. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hope the GCD offered to unburden him by removing him from the project.

I totally had the best response in my head when it happened: “That’s probably why she decided you were the only CD she wanted on this.”

But I’m subordinate to him and didn’t want to come across as antagonistic. 😔

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?

I’m struggling on how to effectively coach a designer on my team who is a low performer. I’ve been working with them for two years.. but have not seen the growth needed to succeed in this industry. They’re slow, lack creative innovation, and have a hard time designing strategically (designs don’t make sense even from a functionality standpoint).

I’ve tried everything I can think of.. but at this point, account teams would rather request working with interns over this person.

Any advice?
