Beam Suntory: they’re the client where every meeting is essentially: "We know everything. You know nothing. Just do what we tell you and keep your POVs to yourself. Oh, and we are going to nickel & dime you on every expense while disputing every invoice we get.”

PowerBar: about 15 years ago, they created a cemetery mural on their office wall for Halloween. On the tombstones, they wrote the names of all 5 of the agencies they had fired in the past 5 years, leaving the last one with our name on it and a question mark underneath it. Just pure assholery at its finest.

So, after a year of not so quietly making it known that I wanted to make the transition from the tech side to the business side I have officially been extended an offer to take on a Project Manager internally (coming from a software configurer). The client I have been assigned to has many of our products, however, the specific project I have been assigned to is a problem child and has damaged the companies relationship with the client. Any advice for a new, young PM being shoved into a problem?

It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

I just got into reading books, any suggestions to start with? Which could help to increase media/marketing knowledge.
