Just started as a PCB and the RB that sits next to me seems to think they are my manager. Every time a customer leaves my desk the RB is “letting me know” who to take next even when they have customers at their desk. When I have to call clients during the day for outreach or follow ups they ask what I’m doing and try to make me validate myself to them.

This isn’t really a “looking for advice” post, more so just complaining and seeing how many other people have coworkers who try to be managers.

Not sure what area you live in, but I think that’s mostly something that would vary branch to branch. From my previous job I bring in a lot of experience and more licenses than typically needed so I don’t quite get that treatment, if it gets to a point where it’s too much I would have a 1:1 conversation with your peer and if it doesn’t improve then talk to your leader.

I need some advice from advisors who have brought other “Junior” Advisors on. What is a fair split?

The individual is working to build their own book of business, but up to now doesn’t have much production. They have only been in the business for about 2 years. I also provide an office and everything that comes with that, and admin assistance. Thanks in advance!

When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

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.

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?
