本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛A new manager joined the firm recently and his working style is different. I want to say his technical part is really weak as a manager and throughout the engagement he had to rely on me and my co-worker to do the technical research, communicate with client, other managers and partners. On the other hand, he created like hundreds of queries a lot of which we don't think quite sensible. The file is not a clean one and has many technical issues. Plus the client is also not a cooperative or competent one. So in the end, we got the work done, but significantly over budget.

I did my file review this the manager. While I do have relatively better comments for technical competency and communication with client, I got some very negative comments like not able to monitor time vs budget (given the circumstances I don't know what else I can do), not care about FS disclosure (so not true. cause I always take my file very seriously. I got comments like I care what I do from client. The reason why he made that comment is I asked the question "is it really necessary" sometimes), show frustration when having to stay late so not performing the best I can, etc. (I can only remember one day I told him I need to go home at 4 to have dinner for the Lunar New Year. But given that's a Sat and I already worked since 9:30 in the morning, I think that's quite reasonable. In fact we stay really late many days till after 12.) I just feel a lot of the comments are really subjective and generalized. Overall, if I were a 3rd party reading this, I will think this staff has some attitude issue which is not fair.

I know one review is not the end of the world. But I don't think it's fair to get a sub par review after working so hard and contributed so much on a file.

What would you do under this kind of situation?更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
