Dealing with a tricky situation... Managing a project, and one of my resources has been double booked - he's the main developer on my project, and the project lead on another.
He's dropping balls and missing deadlines on my project, and I've escalated to my partner, but the person who double booked him is the national SSL lead...
Is there anything I can do to improve this situation, or are we all just screwed?

Also communicate to leadership the final impact of this issue. Ie, here is the transition plan for this role, and these are the items where the delivery date had to be adjusted. From xx to yy as a result. Overall this puts us off track (or....we will have to pull long hours but can make our final go live)

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure

Thanks
