When you have an associate manager accompanying an executive conversation with a with a senior manager do you normally jump in and have a conversation or let the SM do the talking. I was just a meeting with an executive and don’t have much to add. Not sure if I should be more proactive in conversations. How do I be more active in executive conversations without sitting there quiet?

Alignment before the conversation on who will be responsible for covering what will help with roles and responsibilities.
If you go into the mtg, prep your perspective or a few good questions to contribute. If they end up getting covered, you can focus on summarizing and playing back what you heard, in addition to next steps. There is always a role to be played & you might just need to get clarification from the person bringing you in as there is a reason for them asking you to join them.

Take the meeting notes. Do something value add. If not speaking and not taking notes you shouldn’t be there

Building out a new function at my company, top 15 bank in the US, and scheduled a 90 minute meeting last week for today. Invite included an agenda and a teams link to the document we would be reviewing.

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
