I'd challenge in private, never in front of the client. Any SM worry his salt could defend his position or be convinced otherwise

Don't get me wrong I stated my view.. the SM just decided to go with their approach. If it was something worth further challenging them on I would have... but in this case it was just not worth it ..

If he heard your approach and went with his approach regardless - he probably sees something you don't yet. He's a senior manager for a reason. Don't think you know the best way forward - it definitely won't get you any brownie points.

EY3... and that's why I didn't push it further .... but when you have hours of work to do on the back of it and you don't agree with the approach you suck it up at work and vent on fishbowl :)

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.
