[quote=Anonymous]In my workplace, we are being encouraged to work with a consultant. The colleague who is encouraging us to work with this consultant is highly respected and could potentially end up being my supervisor in a few years. Currently, this colleague and I have the same supervisor.

This consultant is awful, in so many ways. Fortunately most interactions with the consultant are voluntary, but we are required to attend some trainings that the consultant delivers. This consultant is very overbearing and antagonistic, and "recommends" in a very aggressive way for us to do our work in a way our supervisor (or our supervisor's supervisors) would not approve of. The consultant dismisses concerns we express and seems to not really understand our work and the contraints we operate under. The colleague that is encouraging us to work with the consultant has made clear that complaining to our supervisor about the consultant would be offensive to her. She wants us to come directly to her with any concerns, but in the past she generally dismisses or ignores concerns we express because she believes she knows better.

I really don't have anything nice to say about this consultant. Maybe the nicest way I could say it is that the consultant's approach does not work for me. But I don't want to antagonize my colleague who could be my supervisor in the future, and I anticipate any conversation I have with this colleague would result in her "convincing" me to give the consultant a chance and me feeling more angry. Would you keep your head down or try to speak up?[/quote]
