This is odd. Is your lack of interest manifesting in your attitude or work product? No one loves doing requirements docs, but we all have to do them at some point. Why is your manager focused on your interest?
Take some time to reflect today and think about what this person is truly concerned about. Is your energy level low? Are you sarcastic or complaining a bit more than the others, even when joking? Are you affecting the team’s energy in some way? Are you actively serving the client or is it clear, even if it’s subtle, that you don’t want to be there? We all know we have to do really well on projects we don’t care about to get the work we want. Every day is an audition for the next project.
Bearing that in mind, what would you change tomorrow to have a better “audition?” Anything?
P1 is on point. Act engaged (act like you care), even if you’re not.
Thank you for the measured and thoughtful responses. I haven’t actually started on this engagement yet, or even met the rest of my team, but it just feels like I’m starting off on the wrong foot. I previously worked with said manager in a role I was extremely interested in, so I wonder if his concern comes from the difference in my reaction from the two opportunities.
That might be a good place to start

God can they see my real lack of interest and just roll me off already?!
