Career Help and Advice

Let's see, where to start?

Employers Insurance Co.: Please don't think, defend your direct reports or even suggest to your SVP that he can do a better job supporting your team's progress and fending off abusive sales directors.

Frankenmuth Insurance Co.: Not the place if you don't want a director who is a weak manager, a self-absorbed plagiarist, and an unapologetically condescending mysogynist.

MassMutual: Accept that 1) your manager may be someone's crazily unqualified pal and 2) the same manager will lionize your team's most toxic co-worker.
