Was on a call yesterday with a client stakeholder who was relentless and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Telling someone no and not being able to tell them what they want is rough. I communicated clearly what the situation is and my main client - also on the call - understood. I know if someone loses their mind and throws a fit that’s on them and I should move forward, but that soured me and I’ve been in a funk since then. I wonder, is this a sign to find something else? What were signs for you?

I’ve been in this role 4+ yrs and love my company, but I don’t love someone’s lack of planning then being taken out on me. I should also note this person asked me to drop off the call before it ended - likely to complain about me to my client. Not a good feeling at all.

If this is a client you can’t get away from and the organization needs you to work with them 100% of your time, then yes, signal to look for something else.

If this is just a partial allocation of your time, then it might just be a challenge you can overcome.

As an experienced, SHRM certified HRBP , I would just like some feedback on your opinion of the differences in the roles between an HRBP an HR Manager besides the obvious that the manager should have direct reports. I am an HRBP and work in step with 3 HRM’s. They all 3 just got out of cycle raises of between 5-20% 😳 and I received nothing. I am quite aware of our HR code that salary is confidential but I was told about this. Would you be looking for other employment? Or stay?
