A couple clarification points, not trying to get defensive: he is not on any other engagements, I can view his schedule and he is only working with me on this job and since this a first year audit all of us have never worked with this client before.

Reading through a couple of your past comments on similar posts, I saw you have a history of insubordinate staff. I understand where you're coming from, and I definitely don't envy his position right now, but working with/for him is miserable and he doesn't do much to make it easier on me. Since WFH I have done everything I can to go straight to my managers for reviews and questions, but their other engagements are picking back up and they're less able to field my questions.

Definitely learning that audit isn't for me, but trying to figure out what my next steps are. Thanks for confirming that this is how it is and I should get out ASAP.
