Hi Guys,
I have been assigned to a Unbillable Project, they are building one app and have recruited people from the talent pool. The project is not registered in GLOW. And they are calling it as Voluntary Contribution type project for studio. Is this what they call Internal Project in Globant?
Will there be any impact if I don't perform as per their expectations?
Will it be of any benefit to me if work in voluntary project? Will HR recognize this project contribution as valid work?

doing it the right way , meaning you don't make your manager look bad but still manage to steer the ship around takes some skill and practice, and you wont get it right every time. Not to mention, if you do try to do it right every time, it will just drain you, frustrate you and lead to burn out. So you got to pick the right battles, and sometimes , if the stakes aren't high, just be the yes man.
I am surprised nobody said this already, but a key factor is not doing it in front of a lot of people! Let them save face so they don’t feel they have to double down.
Try to take them aside privately/ meet with them 1-1 to discuss your “questions and concerns” with the new policy/ strategy/ etc.
That is assuming you are hearing about it before it is finalized and ready to implement.
If that is the case, it is worthwhile to share your ideas for the record and then visibly get on board and do your best to make it work and be a part of the team. Even if you think they are rowing wrong direction.
There is an art to "challenging" decisions. Reframe it to "influence stakeholders" or "win buy in on a better course of action" and you might have more success.
Maturity will guide you to do it properly and at the right moment. There's a cheeky nudge here suggesting that brushing up on stakeholder management might just be your golden ticket to career growth.
Yes and yes. It's easier to do what you're told, but that's not always the best thing to be done. It's called work.
