Lol please tell us what you did.

I just wasn’t very prepared for the client meeting. I ran the wrong report in Oracle BI on accident and felt like I wasted everyone’s time. I also zoned out a few times and had to ask what was just said to be repeated. Nobody got mad or anything but my hiccups were noticeable, ppl aren’t stupid.

Thanks, I’m hoping to make it up in the next meeting. I had a bad feeling going into this meeting too, I just have to just prepare more next time. I’m also working 60 hr weeks, maybe even more and just burnt out

Is Operations paid the least at your respective firms? I was hired to a Client Service Delivery role with a heavy focus on project management.
