How did you recover from getting rolled off a project? Was it performance, personality conflict, or some other issue?

Ask for feedback! This way you get a better sense of what happened. I just had to let a super star senior roll off because of budget constraints.

I fought tooth and nail and burned some bridge to get roll off from one project. Aside from a MD never talking to me again, it’s great 🤣

I once got rolled off and the reason given was nominally budget constraints, but the reality was probably closer to the fact that my experience with relational databases didn’t translate quickly to dimensional databases.

I had a meal with my old boss after I was rolled off, clarified that there were no hard feelings and asked if there was anything more I could have done/should do going forward. Went to a new (non technical cyber) project afterwards and crushed it there.

Beefed with a SM on Thursday before the flight, requested roll off Friday, remote the next week, bench after that, found a great team and worked with them until I left the firm. I had kept my counselor informed about the tensions and ridic requests leading up to this point (always CYA). You can’t win them all, so long as it’s not a habit people will understand.

Why should there be any hard feelings? If you are scheduled until Apr 30, you roll off on that day.

Ah makes sense. I am a new joiner in consulting.

Two days later I get an email from a partner... “do you have capacity?”

Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval). He replied “you’re an adult so tell them what you want”. I was immediately livid and felt it was a totally weird, condescending response. I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?
