PwC 1, saying “my manager” versus “my staff” is highly different. "My manager” doesn’t imply you boss them around, your manager is your superior. Saying “my staff" implies their yours, and no one else’s. You’re their superior. We are just seniors. We are coaches. No one is ours. We are bitches to partners. Do you hear them calling us their staff? No you don’t. We are their team. Let’s act like one

What?!? Everyone says “my staff” because they don’t want to have to say “the one staff that works on my engagement specifically the one that works on the majority of my sections.” Exactly the same reason I say “my manager” instead of “the manager on my job that I report to the majority of the time."

like

It depends on the context - I would say our staff or my manager...someone was using as just your staff but not others...it’s the level but not your slave

like

So because they’re a staff you only refer to them as “our” staff yet it’s “your” manager? That makes no sense. At least be consistent in your irrationality

What a silly thing to get upset about. It's just something easy to say that gets the message across. I think 99% of people saying it aren't power tripping, it's just easy terminology.

I hate seniors say “my staff” while they think they are being close with staff but when I heard it, I was like I’m not anyone’s

It’s the same as saying “my teammate"

Ugh didn’t see this but I had the same exact post minutes ago. It bothers me too. I think the people that use it are the people that are title hungry and on power trips

I don’t know what control staff is though

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.

How do I talk to my boss about being more present (boss is never in office, has “too many” emails, never answers his phone) without being seen as insubordinate?
