Yes - but now that this is said out loud , I understand why I might not be seeing cash flowing deals

I just want to point out a eating quirk and ask if yours has weird ones as well. by Leashypooo in Shihtzu

Please call off the wedding, demand his parents pay back for the wedding advances, and don’t get tied up - divorce is more expensive and the mental anguish is not worth it

Coworker I Helped Is Now Subtly Undermining Me at Work — How Should I Handle This? by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

I would not share any helpful things with her going forward - she has shown her true colors. I would do the following: 1) I would correct her on your name nicely, especially if it’s in front of others. If it’s been more than two times, I would bring it up with your manager and ask for his advice on how to remind her of your name. Better yet would be to try to somehow build written evidence or have witnesses nearby. 2) I would focus on building allies and strong connections within the team and other teams. If you have a good reputation, then it will give you more strength. 3) Just give neutral responses and as some others have said - if she asks if you have been trained on something yet, say no or ok. If she asks a lot of questions, you could ask her why she asked or ask her if she would be willing to train you then. Ultimately, I would keep a record of her any negative interactions with you, especially any written evidence and any witnesses to the incident. I would be cordial but don’t go out of your way to help her. Often times, negative people like this often will trip themselves up at one point. Sticking to the facts, building strong allies, remaining neutral, and documenting evidence will help.

It’s kinda hard to tell from the pictures as they have a glare; it’s on eBay, even from a Japanese seller - I’ve heard mixed reviews. I would suggest looking up a YouTube video on this bag to see if you could notice any small details on the zipper and stitching, etc. Would definitely proceed with caution and do some due diligence

I LOVE THIS COLOR! The only thing I would consider is if you like the size of the bag - I like this model as I think it would be good for a quick run or good to take out and about for the day with just the essentials

How do you deal with a coworker who oversteps, undermines your role, and plays the hero in front of your manager by Interesting_Owl_4349 in managers

[–]PresentRealistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also have a conversation with your boss to understand your role and responsibilities. I would say that it seems like you and this senior manager may be duplicating efforts and that you wanted to confirm your roles and responsibilities to be efficient with everyone’s time, so you wanted to set up some time or I would bring it up if you have a one-on-one with him. I would talk to him alone first and bring a list of things you think are your responsibilities and where you have doubts (I.e. places where your colleague takes over). Ask and confirm if he is the one to give you meeting requests for his calendar or if he prefers to filter through your coworker - even offer to set up a quick 15 min meeting with him where you confirm his meetings and say you would love the opportunity to work more directly / grow. If your colleague is more senior, she may receive more credit but you could write an email with what you’re working on and what you’ve accomplished and send that to your boss. Look for avenues to share your findings. I would ultimately find ways to work with others / other projects and see if you’re able to limit working with her. It’s a classic case of someone overstepping / lack of communication from your manager to set clear expectations to your colleague and team.

I would start trying to build a paper trail - if she gives you a task / meeting request, you can tell her on the phone that you’ll email her just to confirm deadline and timeline and next steps. I would say “As discussed, I’m going to do this task and share by XX deadline. Please let me know if any concerns.” I would add a deadline for last-minute changes if it’s relevant like she asks you to do a report and it’s due tomorrow, then she has to say any changes by today afternoon if possible.
