Uh talk to them first
Do a side project with someone else at the agency, then ask CD to put you on a project with them.
Tell your manager you want to work with someone else. As soon as you can. Be polite about it, and always bring it back to the work. You’re just not happy with the work that results from your partnership. It’s not worth it to ride it out with someone you can’t get along with. I’ve got personal experience in the matter
Have empathy and put yourself in their shoes. Talk with your partner before going to CD / Resource Manager. Odds are they don’t know it’s as bad as it is. If you go over their head without giving them chance to improve, that’s a dick move and your peers will get wind of it.
I'm so with you. Mine had a bipolar outburst on me this week. And when you're stuck together that's it. You're stuck. Deep breaths. And stick up for yourself. We can't let these dicks think they can be...dicks and get away w it.
Same
Our bosses actually came to me first to talk about it. I think they had had their own issues with this person. Asked them for guidance and what I could do. Got “hang in there, we’ll have a conversation with her and talk soon.” ECD even pulled me aside to ask me to be patient. All of this happened without me raising my hand. So clearly other people had their own problems. That was weeks ago and said partner gets to come on an international shoot I sold thru before we worked together. They had made it sound like this human was totally on thin ice and now they’re sending them halfway across the world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In an awkward limbo where I know too much but still have to grin and bear it and make it work. Or pretend for the time being??? Ugh. Stress
Oh man I’m just trying to guess who’s who
I am sending you good vibes. That sucks and I hope it passes
