So I was hired to help manage a designer on my team. From what I’ve observed he works really well with others on our team but with me, things have been problematic. For example, in the past I’ve inherited and have had to fix his projects. I’ve given him direction that he has ignored. Lately, when I’ve asked him to share files, he’s given me the wrong ones or acted as if he can’t find them on our file server. I suspect his behavior is intentional. What should I do in this situation?

I’m afraid the only way through this is to Karen-up and speak to his Manager. Speak first, that way you control the narrative.

document everything! in the meantime sure, you could go to his manager but it kinda sounds like maybe, just maybe, he wanted your job and didn’t get it so resents you. could be helpful to have a 1:1 and let him know that you enjoy working with him, think he’s super talented and appreciate all his work. ask him what you can do to support him in making sure files are set up and backed up correctly, and in making sure direction is communicated clearly. send a very friendly email recap of the convo that comes off as praise and excitement about collaborating better. stroke the ego, encourage better performance, all while documenting both the issues and what you’ve done to address them

That’s what I plan on doing.

He also tried to undermine my direction to the producers and developers in a meeting today on a series of projects. I had to goods to back up the direction.

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.
