What do you do when a manager always shuts down your approach to audit work and then when you get on a call with the partner and manager, the partner gives the same exact approach you stated earlier? This has happened to several seniors that have worked with this manager and we’re all on the verge of quitting.

If it's multiple seniors and partner is approachable, I would approach partner directly as a group. Talk to the other seniors first so you have a clear complaint and clear goal, and don't get sidetracked. If a group of you is on the verge of quitting, that manager needs to be coached. (Or fired, but I'll give benefit of the doubt/ a less combative option)

Thank you!

Email the partner and CC the manager when setting up the meeting if it’s a judgement call. Then discuss the relevant factors concerning the issue on the call (the manager won’t know).

As an MD I would want you to set up a lunch or check in with me and share your ideas upfront if the manager is disregarding. Can be general approach or specifics. Great way to show your innovative skills I would not do it as tattling on the manager more here’s some things I think we should pursue what do you think?

The Manager is probably taking credit for your approaches. Probably not smart enough to come up with anything on their own and pulling the “fake it till you make it”

He’s not. He says we’re wrong and need to do XYZ. I’ve gotten to the point of saying we should just talk to the partner and see what he wants to do
