Would you rather have a crappy relationship with your supplier or a crappy relationship with your warehouse manager? Asking for a friend on how to best resolve crappy relationships with either of those individuals.

It doesn't have to be a "this or that" situation. Data driven decisions always help in finding a middle ground.

I feel your decision should be more what's right rather than who I want happier.

It’s all about doing the right thing. What are they doing to have a bad relationship with you?

In my experience, it's best to approach both relationships in the same manner. First, try to identify the root cause of the conflict and then have an open and honest discussion about how to best address it. This could be anything from ironing out a miscommunication to finding better solutions for both parties involved. Ultimately, when it comes to these types of relationships, communication and understanding are key.

I believe the best way to resolve a crappy relationship with either your supplier or your warehouse manager is to be open and honest about your concerns. A few years ago, I had a similar situation with my warehouse manager. We had a few frank conversations and were able to come to a compromise that worked for both of us. I found that open and honest communication was the key to a strong, successful relationship.

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.

How do I talk to my boss about being more present (boss is never in office, has “too many” emails, never answers his phone) without being seen as insubordinate?

Someone senior at work is very dismissive of my questions and makes me feel nervous around them. I have just joined the team and so I have a lot of questions. They also try to blow things out of proportion or misrepresent facts and I get flustered in the moment and can’t keep track of what really happened. So I end up accepting blame for things that were not my responsibility. And the truth hits me a few hours later. How can I break this cycle?

I’ve been at a job a year and have what I would call a very toxic manager. When I first started they were very nasty to me making comments about my appearance, my character and other inappropriate and mean things. I let them know how this made me feel and they stopped however I continue to notice how manipulative and condescending they are. My mental health is at a low. We are about to be at our busy season but I want to leave so bad. Should I wait until after the busy season or leave asap?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?
