Staff on new project. I feel like I'm an afterthought/not valued. There's a Senior that I've been doing work for.He says I do great work, but I'm rarely cc'ed on emails from mgr/sr mg or asked (cont.)

If you're new to the team and the senior has been the boots on the ground before, then yes this is normal cadence. It'll take a while to get some respect/authority, but you can help hasten this by being your own advocate and asking your senior to throw more at you. Make your senior your best friend, you'll be fine.

Ask the Sr to start copying you on emails out... as simple as that... tell him that you need to be copied for career development reasons....if the Sr. still does not copy you...he is insecure....

Good advice in this thread but be careful what you wish for ;). I'm a summer new hire and get CC'd on everything by the director and partner. One flys in from New York so I get emails from 4:30am-8pm. You're going to just want to hide

To do work from them directly. Always through the Senior. Is it normal to feel this way? My last project I really got to step up and feel valued. Was told I was operating at level of senior/manager and was communicating directly with managers and senior managers.

Make sure to reach out to managers and sr. managers and ask what else you can do to add value. Offer to take them out for lunch or to grab a beer so that you can pick their brains. Don't let one guy control your story.

^ It's a good problem to have....👍

Omg op same issue with my project. Is this an EY thing?

Yeah also as someone who's been in this position - the most important piece of advice I think you can get is not to overthink it or get too caught up in it. A lot of the time people simply just don't think and you shouldn't take offense to that, it's just thoughtlessness and once you've been there a little more you'll become a more natural thought. Keep it up and keep your chin up! 😊

Just ask your supervisor if there are any tasks that you can help him/her with. Tell him you want to learn about the tasks and responsibilities at their level.

Crazy ethics issue. Client 1 has VPO against man who later becomes Client 2. This is the 4th VPO this year, previous ones dismissed.

In the meantime, State has filed rape charges against man who becomes Client 2 and A/B charges against Client 1. Client 1 also files for divorce.

Clients reconcile (which is how they both end up clients...) and want VPO dismissed, divorce dismissed, and criminal charges dismissed.

DHS gets involved and want to remove the child from Client 1's custody. (1/2)

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

Not sure if I should go to female dept chair abt this or just keep quiet.
