[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thank you all for your suggestions, I will give it some more time before going to the partner [b]so that I can properly document my gripes[/b]. The associate is one of those who will delegate wiping his ass if he could, he would then proceed to email you several times telling you how EXACTLY he wants that ass wiped. The micromanaging is unbearable, as if I don't know how to do my job or don't have anything  else to do. [/quote]

If I were the partner, I would be pissed that you are basically waiting around so you have more to bitch about.

PLEASE take the advice of others on this thread and manage up (give him input as to how you work best, open lines of communication, feedback on his interaction with you). It is highly unprofessional to deal with this in such a passive-aggressive way, and even if the partner likes you, you may not always work for someone who will overlook this unprofessionalism (in which case, you'll be sorry you didn't work on resolving this so you have some skills and experience yourself). The first-year associate has the excuse of being wet behind the ears. What is your excuse for not developing your communication and managing up skills so you can deal with this situation head-on instead of "documenting" it and making your partner deal with it?[/quote]
