Me to associate : “You’ve been doing a great job, I just thought i would let you know”
Associate : “ I know I am great at my job, you don’t need to tell me. I want you to make sure to tell manager [x] and. senior manager [x] that.
Me to me : damn, when did these associates get so ballsy, also this kid will definitely be partner one day.
