Extremely upset about what happened and the lack of response and support from rest of my team, as if I’m the only one responsible for the deliverable.

Welcome to PwC

Sorry for your situation. I have had a director do that to me. Omg I was going crazy with my bp going up so high.

@ OP where they more senior than you? On site? New to project? Would you mind giving a bit of context? Sorry you had to go through this.

It must not be that urgent if you are texting.....

I called every single one of my team members at least twice and no one picked up the phone. I then saw them having read my group chat and completely ignoring everything I’ve written for a good few hours while I found other ways to resolve the situation.

I started working for a new law firm, much larger than the firm I was working for previously. The main attorney that I work under had noticed some mistakes I was making (I am a NY paralegal who took this position with the understanding that they’d be teaching me NJ and NYC real estate). Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
