Need political help. PPD from another area outside of my service line keeps asking me to do proposals for him (I’m an SC). The manager is abusive and keeps tanking my scatterplot. How do I tactfully..

Be honest. Tell them you'd be happy to work with him on any efforts that the M is not involved with. He should know if he has bad people working under him.

Ask for constructive feedback on the scatterplot and include the PPMD in your meeting. Even if he doesn’t join the meeting, send him notes after meeting.
For some of us it is difficult to say ‘no’. I am still learning. If you are not interested in that service line, start saying no to this PPD.

Thanks all! I think honesty is hard in this business sometimes

That's true. You just have to figure out the tactful way to deliver it. We need more people who are willing to do it. It's paid off for me everytime.
