Just completed my first week at Deloitte and finished setting up my DPN profile , completd my mandatory trainings etc. I've left my resource manager an IM , he's been MIA. How long before someone reaches out to me for assignment to a project. I don't have project assigned to me and no coach yet . Is this normal ? What's the typical time frame after hiring to get assigned to project. It feels extremely weird not to have a client assigned or not be actively pursuing one.

Every time I give a recruiter from a sourcing company the time of day, they find a way to waste my time. Would you believe that after I was contacted by the recruiter in the picture below, the recruiter was badgering through calls and texts for a solid week, then when went MIA last week after I agreed to an interview and then when I followed up yesterday, he ghosted me. It’s like I keep trying to give recruiters from sourcing companies grace, but they are so damn disrespectful

2nd year here that got f***** over by a colleague. We were supposed to work on a memo due in two days but she went completely MIA. She knew I was going on vacation this week. I told her I’d be working through the weekend so she could bring the memo across the finish line. Now I have to crunch on my vacation. I hate badmouthing people (and I don’t plan to) but the idea that she can get away with blowing off a colleague without any sort of consequence pisses me off. Thoughts on how to handle?

Any gardeners here?

I've picked that up this week. My gardener started to MIA so I decided to give it a go and give him a permanent break. I have started looking up how to trim bushes and have realized that the gardener was doing just cosmetic stuff and most of the bushes are all dried up inside and a ton of mulch has been layered year after year. Leaving what looks like petrified mulch at the base of the bushes.

I did some pruning and trimming yesterday and today. As well as raking. More.

Just started as Sr Mgr of Creative Services in healthcare. Clients don't seem to respect the team's time: unstrategic projects, going MIA mid-project, excessive rounds of revision.

Charging back to the requesting department would seem to fix some of this... or could be political suicide and drive clients to go rogue with their own freelancers or interns, making brand compliance issues even worse.

What's been your experience with internal chargeback for creative services?
