I’ve been at a job a year and have what I would call a very toxic manager. When I first started they were very nasty to me making comments about my appearance, my character and other inappropriate and mean things. I let them know how this made me feel and they stopped however I continue to notice how manipulative and condescending they are. My mental health is at a low. We are about to be at our busy season but I want to leave so bad. Should I wait until after the busy season or leave asap?

Hey folks, A person who is more experienced than our team members showing unnecessary interest in some work related to project and torturing us who is 2/3 yrs less experienced than that person. He acts as if he is superior and nobody will actually care. I thought of reporting the concern to my delivery lead or manager of the account, but stepped back thinking of later happenings. The project is good but this person is making team sick and actually making it a toxic environment. Any suggestions?

What is your understanding of the norms around whose names end up on a brief/complaint/motion papers etc.? I’m a midlevel at an AmLaw 20 firm and have twice been the principal drafter of something only to be cut from the signature block.

Am I wrong to be pissed off about this?
