Started a new job a couple of months ago. Asked my manager for feedback on my performance so far . They said we’d talk but then nothing. Is this a good thing?

It just means your manager never made the time and you should probably remind them soon…

Agree with the previous comment - as a manager, it's not unusual to have people tugging on you from all sides, above, and below. It's entirely possible they just forgot. It's also possible that they were insecure in what feedback to give you.

I recommend talking to them again and asking to put a concrete 1-on-1 on their calendar. Be clear about what kind of feedback you want to receive, and be sure to bring your own accomplishments, questions, struggles, and ideas.

My manager announced on the team call that me and another team member were getting meeting invites. It’s titled Performance to date. But now I’m nervous as hell

I’m new to the firm. My third project my manager was very hands off. He’s wants to have a discussion with me about my performance. He did not give me any support to work with; even when I asked! And my direct manager agrees with him, but it was my third week. What to do? I feel like I’m going to say something crazy. Any advice?

Check me here: other side attorney has already reached out to me directly via email saying that an LOI is coming… Then, she sends the LOI addressed to my client, and CC:s me only. It should have been addressed & emailed to me, and copy the business folks, when an attorney knows the other side is represented by an attorney. Am I overreacting for being annoyed?

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.
