A Manager on my project that has a lot of industry exp (~15y) but only 1y in consulting keeps ruining the slides I work on. She will basically delete the so-what, and rewrite content in a way that sounds immature and incoherent. Also frequently removing data-related caveats which is concerning for other reasons.

How tf do I address this? I tried talking to another senior manager in our practice who told me I’m probably in over my head and she has so much experience etc..

Tbh, if you’ve aired your concerns, and your leadership is dismissive, i would let the manager do what they want to do. at the end of the day, it’s their neck on the line. I’ve been in a similar situation (also a senior) and there’s only so much you can do. Worst case scenario, it’s a “i told you so”. and best case scenario, nobody notices and you get to release the anxiety you’ve been holding about their work.

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs.

Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
