What’s a good comeback response to partner saying “hang in there” and “you good?” But doesn’t really care?

Be honest. If you don’t tell them the truth, don’t expect anything to change.

There is nothing wrong with saying “Honestly I’m struggling. I’ve tried different things but with little success. And it’s really taking a toll on me, both mentally and physically.”

If you’ve tried these things, suggest speaking with mentor/TM to get their perspective on the situation, and at worst, can push the red button anonymously. But important that you are not dealing with this alone.

Depends on your role - if you are manager/principal, raise you concerns to the right person at the right time (execution partner or person closest to that). If you are more junior - talk to your manager first to get a better view of what is going on with senior level. Then totally ok to respectfully to say to partner that you are concerned about x/y/z fires not getting better and how they are impacting you. Will give them better visibility of what is going on on the ground.

When the IRS (e.g., a RO/AO/Examiner) calls or writes a letter… How do you verify that it’s really the IRS and not a scam?

I don’t think my worry is unfounded due to the tremendous amount of tax/IRS scam out there but it would be nice to hear from some of y’all so that I’m not so worried about it…

Can't decide if he's doing it intentionally just to be a d*ck or if he seriously can't determine the differences between us because we all fall into the "tan Asian" category for him. F**kin annoying.
