What is your take on stepping up and holding up your end for your team? There are sometimes when it seems like I am doing all of the work and my team mate just sits back and coast. I don’t want to say anything but is it on to talk to them about it first or should I go to my manager?

I think you should say something, but my first impulse would be to talk to the teammate. I don't know the circumstances, but it's possible they don't even realize they're screwing up. Taking it to a manager can get complicated, first of all you're going behind the back of someone you have to work with everyday. But beyond that, things can backfire, it could bring attention on you also. It's always good to consider what could be the unanticipated consequences.

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?

Junior here. How common is it to be nudged off a brief when you can't get ideas through internally? My partner and I are often put on the same briefs as more experienced (sometimes senior) teams. As a result, their work tends to make it through to the client presentation while most of ours dies somewhere along the way from CD to CCO. Is this worth worrying over?

Or in calls with other people, she won’t take responsibility for things that she told me to do that the other person calls out as wrong. How can I handle this situation without making her mad but also not letting her step all over me?
