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”
