Same boat. Google slides is one of the worst products out there. The UI is horrid and godspeed if you need to use tables. Sheets is great though, infinitely better than Excel.

Tip: make slides in pptx, load into slides, reformat.

The clients are paying you. They owe you nothing. You're not entitled to dictate to clients. Respect the hands that feed you and learn to be tool-agnostic and adaptable. That's why you're a consultant, not internal employee.

You’re a consultant, adapt.

Can’t remember the last time I used Google slides. Do they have desktop versions now? I dislike working out of browser versions, whether it’s Microsoft 365 or G-Suite. If you are dealing with working out of the browser, then yes, I stand by your statement. It’s not that people can’t adapt. It’s inefficient in certain cases. Doable? Yes. Annoying? YES.

I got an offer from PwC 5 or so years ago and when I found out they used G Suite I backed out of the offer. Ludicrous for a business of PwC’s stature and nature to have even entertained using that junk.

Do your work in PowerPoint then convert it

Why is it assumed PMs are responsible for scheduling all meetings and taking notes? When did this happen? I was responsible for providing a recap of meetings in the sense of next steps, not in depth notes on the conversation. As for scheduling meetings, I was responsible for scheduling the milestone meetings (kick offs, internal reviews, post mortems, status meetings that I led), I did not schedule the team reviews (CD reviews with ADs/CWs), client meetings, etc. Comments?
