PwC Relatively new to the firm and having trouble dealing with a specific individual in my project. We have different expertise. Both at the same level.

- Reluctance to forward specific client calls and questioning whether I need to be on (I do)
- questioning my expertise on topics and asking me to cross check with others
- making personal passive aggressive remarks questioning my background and expecting me to be qualified on their topic of expertise after ignoring my own questions to them 😒

Find a way to nip it in the bud before you are seen as the problem because you are the new person. Things like this don’t usually turn out well so speak to a more senior person on the team or your assigned Coach/Counselor cause people like that will usually go around and bad mouth / discredit you. Is this their normal behavior with others or just you? They may be feeling insecure and feel the need to put you down.

I agree with D1. Speak up. Either to your coach or a more senior person on the project. It does not need to sound like a complain. Ask for an advice on how to deal with the situation.

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

Has anyone dealt with coming to terms with an emotionally abusive relationship? I struggle to admit this (because more drastic examples come to mind), but my therapist mentioned that things like yelling/throwing things/blocking me from leaving the room are also abusive traits my ex demonstrated.
