There is a new guy in the company, joined to set up a new practice, and I haven't met him yet. I keep receiving requests, via other people, from him and it's driving me absolutely bonkers. I reached out to set an intro call up with him, but it's not until the end of week. Yet I'm still receiving "requests". I'm aware I probably need to get over myself, but it's really souring my mood towards him. Any words of wisdom? Other than "get over yourself"

Have you had the intro call? When on the call, talk through expectations etc.

While he could be an ego maniac trying to make a name for himself out of the gate, he also maybe just trying to navigate as he drinks from the firehouse.

Get that meeting and establish your partnership.

Don’t let it get to you until you speak with him. He may not even realize you’re at the end of all those requests. People may have said they can get it for him without linking that it is all you. You know what I mean?

Got braids. You'd think I literally got a face transplant from how shook my coworkers are.

They don't lose their minds when Sarah gets bangs or whatever so I wish they could keep that same energy.

It feels like they want a rubber stamper, which is not me.I never faced this at my prior in-house roles (probably because they were much a larger). Any advice on how to handle?

What do you think when associates/senior associates misspeak on a concept during a meeting or interview?

I’ve learned something new on each project, and I’m afraid of coming off as an idiot so I rarely contribute to conversations; only after I have done research on the topic and have prepared do I speak/give ideas

My friend just got out of a relationship and hooked up with his ex's best friend a week later. They're now dating and seeing each other everyday.
I couldn't help but feel like this wasn't an appropriate thing to do for both parties. He also revealed that he cheated on his past exes.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?
