It’s Christmas week. We have a Steerco Wednesday. Told my manager I needed to step out for an hour from 6:30-7:30PM to have dinner with family - staying at fiancés house and entire family is upstairs eating already. Manager blew up at me saying we needed all hands on deck today and tomorrow. This is why I don’t like this company.

Screw them. Your family and life is more important than any steerco, client, or project. If they don’t understand that then let them roll you off. And on your way out make sure to alert Your mentor, Ombudsman, Practice lead, and HR of the conditions this manager and partnerS/principals are creating on this project.

First mistake was asking. After 5:30/6p I’m an adult and If I need to go do something I will and if I need to get more done will get back on later or early the next day. We are adults and not owned by our company. Work hours is different but outside of that you don’t get to dictate my every hour/move

Also your manager is a moron for Allowing this steerco to be scheduled this week
And if it was 100% unavoidable due to client timing (time sensitive project), then plans should have been made well in advance with team, extra resourcing on boarded, contingency planning etc to make sure as minimal impact as possible to holidays, everyone’s role clarified, each deliverable pre made etc

Manager seems like the type to hold to dinner with your family against you if you were to go for promotion.

I got your back.

Join the call on mute. Leave phone in the other room. Come back towards the end and say "thanks everyone" before hanging up.

(Your manager is terrible!)

I’m up for promotion this year, and I’ve been working so hard and my feedback is amazing and I’ve wanted this for awhile. Now, an immediate relative is actively dying and I may go out on a short leave, and I also have some PTO planned so that I can visit family oversees later this fall. With all that’s happening, I’m not going to hit my 90% utilization target, which is a checkbox in my promo. (cont).

Hi everybody,

Looking for some insight/curious to hear how others would handle this situation:

I have an offer I want to accept; I was trying to negotiate for a signing bonus… but they’re not budging.

The issue is, the start date is in a month and I’m up for a promotion in a week at my current company. I would like to leave before I get promoted, I think it would be pretty low of me to accept and promptly quit.

Not the new employer’s problem? Or can/should I try to leverage this?
