Me: *Revises the way they want.*

Account Lead: Can we add both versions so they have them?

Me: Okay? *Adds both versions*

Client: Please revise.

Me: *Finds that we gave them those edits already*

Account Lead: Can we add both versions so they have them?

Me: They already have them, they clearly didn't look at the link.

Account Lead: Okay, but could please add both versions?

Me: *Walks Account Lead through the papertrail over Zoom*

If your company understands the 'please revise' and who that message is coming from client-side, sometimes what the team lead is saying is right. The lead needs to be ready to take a stand and justify it. Clients hired you to be an expert. Clearly there is not alignment between the client and your team lead. You should be providing the client feedback to your lead and asking for specific reasoning that the client request is being ignored.

Remember, sometimes you are being asked to produce a cudgel from the c-suite to the rest of their business. Some things require a definitive stance that isn't aligned with first-level stakeholders.

HiAll, My lead resigned and my manager informed me just 2 weeks before her lwd on this and asked me to take up all their responsibilities. I don't think this is not a professional way to handle things and KTs are not properly given. I'm really worried if this will affect my career. I'm not really interested to work in this project. I have tried many ways to release me from this project . But manager is really amendment to release as there is no senior member in the team.

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
