When your manager decides to take PTO right before the holidays / project deadlines and leaves you to do their work (which they didn’t do) as well as your own.

Hopefully your Sr Manager / partner notice. I am a Sr. manager and I would definitely notice something like that and do everything I could to reward my senior (plus obviously penalize my manager) because that is not cool.

I know it feels like a lot, but doing their work is the best indicator that you're ready to be promoted to their level.

Until you f*ck it up completely

A manager typically made a few bad decisions before that point if you’re coming down to the deadline with a significant amount of work left. Shit happens though and it’s fair you don’t like the situation. As much as it’s bullshit though, not complaining and doing the work will be looked at 10x more favorably than doing it and complaining. Better to wait until you get credit then discuss later.

OP: we notice when things like that happen. I have two seniors and two managers that I work with on several projects. If I had to choose who stays on my projects, hands down, I would choose those two seniors instead of the two managers. I am preparing these two seniors to become managers next year so I can let the two current managers go to other projects. I already told the seniors to train the staff under them to take the senior roles next year. Many people think we don’t see what is going on but we need to work with what we have.

How long is too long to try to push back a start date? Getting a formal offer early next week but trying to keep that big law bonus if possible. Firm pays out bonuses Dec 30 & I have a vacation scheduled Dec 19-23 (and was planning on working remotely the week after too). Ideally want to get EOY bonus or negotiate for a signing bonus but is it too much to push for signing bonus and those weeks off? I'm open to working remotely those two weeks but know that may not be the best when I start.

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand.

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?
