How do you deal with client stakeholders that are constant nay sayers / negative Nancys? This is the first time I’ve encountered a stakeholder that offers only negative opinions and No solutions.

Should make you better. If you can answer those questions and doubts, you’re math is at least partially checked.

I have been on projects where I was tagged with that and I have typically been proven correct. I saw or understood things that others didn’t and was operating with a different set of facts. Check with this person to see what their issue or concerns are.

Hopefully it is just negative pretenses rather then they know what isn’t going to work and the why.

People are typically negative for a reason. Once you figured why you can then handle correspondingly. Some typical reasons:
- bitter because no promotion/not listened to
- dislike of external consultants
- legitimate concern

Any tips? Dealing with resourcing issues for one of our largest clients. We have enough hours, just waiting for more experienced team members to be hired to complete it. We’ve reprioritized work so many times to get what we can done with the team we have, but still have important items waiting to be completed with more Sr. Folks. We’ve also borrowed from other teams, but it doesn’t cover up the fact we could be getting the work done faster with the right team. Advice for dealing with the client?

I’m new to the immigration practice, and recently submitted an I-129 for 15 H-2B landscape workers. I knew the deadline would be close, but I convinced the client that we could take the chance. The cap count was reached after we submitted, so no approval. Is there any other avenue to bring over those workers or is he screwed?

Watch out for Publicis—specifically Digitas. After a few weeks there, and a couple of quiet days (client is taking their time w/comments, etc) I was told that even though I was booked for that short week, I was only going to get paid for time actually worked—the 3 daily status meetings. Yes, that’s correct. 24 hours waiting patiently for the client comments and they’re paying me for 3 hours.
