None of my managers have done anything but forward my work along as their own. Some were smart enough to change their name in the properties.
Every Thursday right before they run out the door...
Comforting guys- thanks. Every year I think I couldn't possibly do more work and then somehow... I do.
I'm too tired to even argue with Srs. who think setting expectations and following up will help them avoid this. Wait till you get promoted. The chances that all of the 6 work streams you manage across three clients are perfectly staffed, understand expectations, and have time to iterate and check in before deadlines is about 1%. Check back with me when you are living it friend. The heat turns up the higher you go.
Pretty often. I don't mind redoing wording and content. Can't stand redoing formatting
@KPMG either you are a rockstar or your Managers/Directors are no good
a lot
This must be a well kept secret. If you try to say anything people assume management ineffectiveness and a lack of expectation setting.
Lot more than I would like to. I am completely cool with it if it's after my staff gave it their best try but it drives me crazy when it's because of lack of effort
Spot on D3. It's all about the team you develop.
Very little with good resources, constant with not so good ones
All the frigging time
My managers always provide templates and exhaustive lists of expectations with clear scope up front, and then we do consistent check-ins. It isn't micromanagement as much as it has been consistent availability to check progress. We have maybe redone ONE document in the last six months.
@PWC OP I'm pretty awesome and have OCD so I put in more effort than most but I know it's more they completely suck. Luckily rolling onto a new project and will be promoted to manager this year!
All the friggin time. Why can't the my team just be as awesome as I was as a SC?!
Good SCs can save your life, happiness, marriage and even world hunger
Quite a bit. But try to avoid that by checking in often before due date.
Way too often.
Approximately every time
Almost every time. Depends on the team though and how detailed you are
