I would be worried for sure. I've received mixed reviews recently with the partner who just made partner who I worked with on some engagements making sure that I would not get promoted to manager. In fact, I've been counseled out. Fortunately, I was finally able to land another position in private. I knew in the past that he could be difficult to work with.
I had a partner similar to this in PwC. I reported him to HR and he retaliated. I left the firm and it was the best thing for me long run but I went through a year of depression. Before you report him, have an exit plan.
EY 5 good info. Yes don't report without an exit plan
One partner doesn't have the power to get someone fired. There has to be documentation that supports the firing. Layoffs are another story
Also if this Partner is more impulsive you can wait to see how things turn out
I was working on something off canvas and it had been a while since I saved. I hadn't uploaded it because there were canvas connectivity problems all day. Anyway, my computer crashed and I lost around 3 hours of work. I was able to auto recover some of it, but shortly after it happened the partner came in for a status update. Needless to say, this precipitated his reaction.
I'm a senior 2 btw
Over the* top
I'd be annoyed too
Hahaha just a joke. Sometimes it’s good to just stay polite and do an awesome job going forward. I’ve had partners apologize to me for stuff later. It all depends on the person. But at least you know the temperament of that partner.
Don't do anything anonymously. Have a direct conversation with the partner. That's the only way there will be true, satisfactory resolution for either of you.
So I had a direct conversation with the partner today. Didn't go well. He told me that I needed to have thicker skin if I am going to survive in this industry.
Well it’s always an option to do that but sometimes say if you power through those things it can actually be good. I’m of the belief that every job has a jerk you have to deal with. So it’s not cut and dry. Some people I hated became very good assets to me later after things blow over. I guess only op knows.
I put up with a lot of shit from my partner and I give it back equally - but we've worked together for 20 years. If he ever seriously told me to F off - and then if I tried to talk to him about it later and he basically told me to get over it and have a thicker skin - I'd absolutely take to at least a partner just further up the chain than him, if not HR. And we're friends. In the entire 20 years I've worked with him, he's made me cry a dozen or more times. But only once did I actually go to someone else (not HR but another partner) for help in dealing with him - and he didn't tell me to F off. People who observed the interaction that happened actually called HR from what I understand. And while on the surface nothing appeared to happen - he hasn't acted like that again. His actions in the days following the incident were pretty clear that he knew he'd f'd up. (And I started considering other opportunities and applied to grad school)
Manager 2 very good post.
I agree with EY5 too but make sure you do it only if you are looking elsewhere or already have an offer. You never know what the implications of reporting a Partner.
*there been other problems between you and this partner or the sm on the team.
I am in cbs I could stop by with a mask and take care of that for you.
What does that mean EY8?
Fake news. Nothing to see here
In* not if
