One more day with my colleague’s work

After getting the document reviewed with my manager and insights he shared with me, I was hoping that document would be taken ownership by my colleagues and I can focus my bandwidth for the new opportunity assigned to me. However, the next day I got a call from my colleague that the document was reviewed by the on-site team and there are a lot more updates to be made and we need your support for one more day. I was completely furious by these comments and wanted to escalate this to my manager. So, I went ahead to my manager and was discussing about iterative changes, I already compiled most part of the document and from now on the new updates can be taken over by my colleagues and I needed to put my effort on new opportunity assigned, as it’s getting escalated to new levels by each passing day. To further increase my temper, my manager was persuading me to support my colleagues for one more day and he would speak with the new opportunity owner or drop a note to the on-site team about my bandwidth. My manager conveyed to me that he would drop a note to the entire team that my bandwidth is completely occupied and my support would not be available till the start of next week. But manager backstabbed me and was poorly managing things, to know more about what happened, check out blog posts in “G R Team Sites”

Unnecessary work on weekend

Message was conveyed clear to the delivery person, that I can support partially over weekend with no options available for me from my manager. To my surprise, I had personal work at home and couldn’t spend much time on the deck to be shared and with no option left, I have shared the slides whatever I could work with my available time. However, the delivery person has called upon my manager and has conveyed that additional updates to be made and some relevant information to be in place for leadership review. Now, my manager was checking on with me, when I can spend enough time on the slides and share revised version for review. I was completely furious, as I have conveyed earlier that I am partially available on weekend and additional information required from onsite to avoid redundant effort. But, this stupid delivery person and my manager was persisting me to work on some irrelevant slides, only to showcase to others that they have put in some effort for completion. To be frank, both these guys make things worse with stupid and irrelevant suggestions on the slides. To know more what happened, please feel free to check out “G R Team Sites”

Heated conversation my with manager

I was also referring to the earlier mail to my manager, which I dropped to that offshore delivery person and specifically marking out that the deck was based upon the topics suggested and can be customised further based on the suggestions from the onsite team. After all this drama on this opportunity without even starting to take off, I was completely irritated and wanted to back out from this opportunity and was citing about my upcoming vacation this week. My manager was still persistent that I would be able to support this opportunity, and nothing important would be required to delivery before next 2 weeks I can go ahead with my vacation plan. Trusting my managers suggestion, I took vacation for the week and was hopping that no major updates come on the way for this opportunity. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

Review with Offshore POC and smooth process

After having a quick connect with the offshore delivery POC that we would connect latter in the post lunch session to discuss about the updates and to put information that might be needed in the slides for today’s evening call, I was simultaneously searching in multiple places to get the relevant information in the slides and putting in the required slides in place for review. By post lunch, I have scheduled a call with the delivery POC to get his inputs. During the call we were discussing about each and every slide and modifying the information based upon the inputs shared by the onsite team. However, the delivery POC was requesting me to schedule offshore connect with the delivery lead to get his input as well, because we can’t bypass him and send slides to onsite team without his knowledge. So again, I scheduled a quick call with offshore delivery lead to get his input and to modified based upon his recommendation. This call was going in smooth manner and was hoping that it would also be the same with the offshore delivery lead, but it turned out to be exactly opposite.

Working with irritating POC on one more opportunity

One more opportunity assigned to me with one of more irritating delivery POC and this opportunity scheduled to close by more than 2 weeks. For these 2 weeks, I had to work with this irritating delivery person, who is too nagging and would do no work with expectation of everything to be done by offshore team. I had raised too many issues against working with this delivery person and at sometimes even would cut off his suggestions straight away. However now I have no other option but to work with this irritating delivery person on this opportunity and in addition I got update from the offshore leader that no support would be available from offshore delivery team for this opportunity. I was completely frustrated for working on this opportunity and wanted to close this work as early as possible. Continue reading more at “G R Team sites”

Finally got irritating opportunity to work

After having no work at office for past one week after long vacation had set my mood to work hard for any new opportunity that is assigned to me. With so much anticipation and with Monday blues, I entered office and to my pleasant surprise, again I had no work and was just killing time by watching videos as my manager was back in office, seated exactly beside me. The day was about end and I was planning to get started to home and suddenly my manager pings in the office communicator. I was shell shocked and was in different mood till I opened the message and it was like, just look for similar opportunity in the repository and share it with the delivery person for further action. I searched in the repository for the relevant document and shared it with the delivery person. To validate the deck, I even pinged the delivery person to check whether that is the deck they are looking for or need to look for any another deck. But they back stabbed me and to continue reading check at “G R Team Sites”
