Today I argued with my (female) manager for giving me more work than the guys on the team. It didn’t go well but I don’t care, I wasn’t gonna do that damn item.

I had a similar issue! When I asked about it, I was told that I'm "more detailed" but shouldn't everyone be held to the same standard?

Logic? Well, I would challenge you and ask... what is your measurable for one full salary of work? If you have that you can measure one and a half. If you don't then it's peception based and that's... your perception, not your manager's. From a leadership perspective... I KNOW that each employer doesn't not have a holistic perspective of what EACH member does every day. That's part of MY job to assess. So I would challenge my team member with this complaint as to why they don't trust me and start a conversation around that b/c if you have an issue with others it's not about THEM... it's the depth of what's behind your issue that needs delving into.

In my career I have taken advantage of that. Move yourself into a leadership role by delegating your tasks to the guys. Get involved in more important projects. The promo will come.

I’ve been in this situation MANY times. It drives me nuts especially when they are making more than you.

Did your boss say why she was giving you more work than the guys on the team?

I DO actually award my more efficient team members with better raises and bonuses... so then I feel ok giving them more work b/c I'm paying them based on the work. But... to the same point how do you know if you were awarded more money or a better bonus if you don't trust that your manager is seeing your value? Do you assume that the others get the same pay? Or do you take into account your1-ups view of your role and the benefits you receive over others?

I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

I have been in an awkward reporting structure for 2.5 years. On record I’ve reported to the VP of Marketing, who was crazy toxic, and technologically inept. I’m a senior website manage and she had no interest in my role. She shirked me off to also report to her two directors, PR and Call Center. Needless to say, that’s been a difficult situation for me. She’s gone and the new VP starts tomorrow. Any guidance on how to ensure this ends with the incumbent VP?
