On a project where Consultant is acting like an SM, not in PMO role but a support staff. Asking status to everyone, playing off different people that they are working on xyz which I doubted. Recently, during colocation I witnessed they are not really working on other things. Professionally questionable behavior with another Manager who protects them. Strong bias from PPMD towards this individual. Thinking of leaving the project as I find this environment toxic. Thoughts?

I’m a very experienced veterinary assistant who has been doing this job for about 4 years in total however because of my skill level I would say I am more of an unlicensed technician. I’m looking for input on what I should ask for a raise.

Any helpful advice?

I’m interested in pursuing cosmetic dermatology (possible Botox and laser treatment) for the first time. I’ve done a ton of research and the derm I’m most interested in going to charges a $150 consult fee but does NOT apply that cost to any treatments you get, whereas from my research it seems like derms in my city usually do apply the consult fee to the treatments. Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?
