😱 what was the reason to deny?

This sounds terribly toxic!

Was asked to take on a special assignment for the company. By meant I had to make room by deferring some of my job tasks to others. Everyone aligned and said cool. Come review time my boss + the head of our team decided to put in my review that I was neglecting my job duties and underperforming. There were other things in there so I pushed for a convo with my boss about it with an HR talent rep present and asked for it to be looked into. Someone else in HR told me to check in on the investigation… turns out that original talent manager decided to do nothing and then pretended they were never asked to, allowed my boss to submit the review as is with some really aspect shit in it. That was it.

I know HR isn’t for the people, but to also work for someone who doesn’t have my back in ANY way and will sell me out because she doesn’t like the fact that she “inherited” me when she joined. That’s the kind of boss that will always move the goal post and set you up for failure and blame you like they weren’t involved. I didn’t need that kind aggravation and frustration in my life.

Tell me that they believed a performance review outcome should have been different, go to HR to tell them, they had the opportunity to change it:… but didn’t. Total 🐍

One time, he told me he wasn't paying me for the hours he didn't feel like I earned. Then he failed to show up for a meeting that he had proposed specifically to discuss why I wasn’t satisfied with the nature and duties of my job. That was my cue to leave.

That’s BS

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

How far into implementation and execution do you get as a strategist (and what's your specialty). I notice social strategist tend to get way more into the executional portion, even writing copy etc. whereas brand strategy tends to roll off once the briefing process is done. Does brand strategy ever go on shoots or vendor/production meeting and are they responsible for it? Just had an unclear moment where it seemed like I was expected to vet production partners and I didn't realize I should've .

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?
