Kill them with kindness - approach every situation and do a bit of a reverse Uno on them. If they come to you with a problem/complaint, restate their issue to show you were listening and then ask "What is your plan? how will you be fixing this?" Presumptively assume that THEY will be doing the fixing. Then ask "Can I put you on my calendar in let's say a week from today so that we can go over your progress?" OR "Who can we bring in on this? It seems to be a greater issue than you can tackle; I assume you'd like to lead the effort to resove. Yes?"

I am writing this message besides the staff group of EY GDS. Specifically Staff -1 at assurance level. I would request everyone to spare few minutes and read it -

Wanted to bring out that staff-1's are paid peanuts (3.33L CTC) please don't expect them to slog 12-13 hours. They don't have enough motivation or incentives to work that long. Seniors,AM's and Managers should be more kind and explain the work to them clearly rather than making last minute changes.
