Does it ever get to anyone else that you’re interactions with people outside your team are overwhelmingly negative? I don’t even mean that in how you’re treated, just that every time you’re contacting someone or meeting with someone, it’s always to ask them to do something you know they’re gonna hate, and will seem completely pointless to them.

I feel that, but if you routinely request those sort of things, they’re probably used to it and aren’t bothered as much as you think. Truly depends on the person, but in meetings, I like to introduce myself and get to know them (or catch up if it’s someone you’ve already met) before diving into work to make the vibe more positive. That way I kind of have an inside connection with another team and it’s less “worky” when I reach out for a task.

I get the same vibe in industry. People are overworked, and leadership is poor.

lol. Once during a screen share the person walked away for a min and for whatever reason changed the window that was being shared…. I was left looking at an email where they were discussing PYs team and how much they disliked them. I didn’t take it personally since I wasn’t on the team PY and I definitely made a conscious effort to be more friendly.

Idk - I hold speciality groups in high regard. If ITS or SALT tell me to do it; then I do it without complaints. I may ask “why” just to learn from the experience for next time.

People can hate what they need to do but if it’s their job responsibility, I do not see why you would feel uncomfortable. It is for them to figure out if they are in the right place.
