Partner is upset with me about something that was out of my control. Is the best course of action to take responsibility, apologize, and move forward, or try to explain my side? Also is this likely to affect year end bonus/raise?

We have to keep our partners happy in order to live fulfilled lives. They’re there to support us, give us a free ear when we have troubles, help us challenge ourselves and we build a brighter future together. Oh yeah and they pay our bonuses so it’s really important they’re not pissed at us! 😂

My MD once got really mad at me and said he would shoot me in the head with his AR15. I literally just forgot to cc him on an email…Some people are just like that…take it easy

It would have been so tempting to round house that dude on the spot. People like him are usually big p*$$ys when faced with a potential real physical confrontation.

If it wasn’t your fault, then set up a meeting & go through what actually happened.

If you did make a mistake, acknowledge, come up with solution to rectify & learn from the experience.

It’s ok to make mistakes - it’s how you handle the fallout that differentiates yourself from others.

At the end of the day we’re all learning.

Need more info. What did the partner think you did wrong? Are you 100% certain it's a misconception?

Your team, as in you’re the manager? Or just the team that you’re on?

If they’re mad at just you and youre the manager/team lead, that’s the role. If they’re mad at the hole team and you’re trying to duck shared responsibility, I’m sorry that’s not how things work. Consulting is a team sport whether you had a real hand in it or not.
