Partner treats me poorly one-on-one, almost shockingly so (condescending tone, occasionally scornful and sharp comments, little I do is ever good enough for her) yet apparently praises me to others. This Partner is also my People Lead. Is she knocking me into shape in private so that her public praise is deserved, or is she a dinosaur with an antiquated style? What do we think

(Fwiw my reviews are consistently that I’m a top performer in our group)

I have learned in my time in consulting that some people are just ass holes. It’s hard for me to separate that someone could be an ass hole and also respect my work. Yet, I’ve seen it.

I try to not work with these sort of people as I tend to not trust them, don’t work well off of that sort of negativity, and just think it breeds toxicity.

I would try and find a new people lead…

Lmao this was my dad. She only praises you in public because it makes HER look good having mentored you and being your manager. This is a narcissistic trait.

I’m a designer in the planning/landscape architecture dept. of a CE firm.

I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?

Is it generally unwise to switch companies within a year? I just relocated back to hometown and started a new job 6 months ago but I want to relocate again to Atlanta when my lease is up in 6 months.

Do you think it’s fair to pay full price for a missed appointment? Long story short, I lost track of time by 30 minutes. By the time I realized I messaged her and she said she can’t extend the time due to other clients so I suggested we reschedule for next week. She’s now asking for full payment of $175. I tried to renegotiate so she brought it down to $115. Does this seem fair? Looking for other perspectives
