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

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.

Have you ever been told off by an older attorney of color? We have one Black partner at our firm and in conversation with him this morning he told me I should work on sounding and looking "more professional" and not let my "tone" or "bad attitude" get in the way. I don't think I've ever had a bad attitude at work, and whatever "tone" I'm speaking in it's my normal one. As a Black woman I just feel super weird about it and kind of sad.

How do you deal with a manager who expects 3 months of work overnight? I have tried structuring , creating a plan to show him how the activities are being executed.

Despite being organized, I am coming across as scattered and jumbled since I have been working 15+ hours with no food and break daily
