I once called someone in the 'C' suite out for being completely disorganized. I followed it up by offering project management advice. The conversation got pretty heated. I still have my job and we seem to have moved past it but I wonder if that interaction will have a negative consequence down the road. I don't regret it and would do it again, just maybe a little more tactfully but I was looking out for my operation and one of the managers that reports to me.

I read this at first that you called someone a c**t for being disorganized! Seemed a bit much. 🤣

Did you mean C Suite? I hope everyone has indeed moved past it and it doesn’t impact you long term. It’s so hard to tell how those things play out.

Hahaha I edited it! Thanks :)

Also… describing an experience where I called someone disorganized while missing the inclusion of a word that gives a great deal of context is pretty funny!

During a coaching session with another exec I approached by explaining that I was coming from a place of genuine concern and that I was truly trying to coach them on being clear with deadlines, and instructions/documentation. I pointed out the flaws in the approach and the risks it presented. I think that conversation went well.

No one likes passive aggressive behavior, Karen. You basically said “I can do a better job at your job than you.” Yet, you don’t know what’s on their plate or what they’re juggling. I avoid colleagues like you because your type is too uppity and judgmental for no reason. Just focus on you and your job.

How do you guys tackle the situation where employers asks for immediate joiner.they don't even give us a chance to get evaluated technically.
Do you guys go ahead with any foul play like even if your notice period is 60 days but you tell them that you can join within 30 days
