I recently had an EP texting me for answers. I replied that I was putting my son to sleep and would send right after. He responded with “no need for excuses”. Haven’t been able to shake that comment since. Should I address it?

Maybe it’s just me, but I took this to mean that the EP was saying “don’t worry about it” meaning do it when you can. I could be way off. Just make sure there is no misunderstanding before you take it to HR.

I read it that way as well. And maybe give them benefit of the doubt unless a pattern develops. Also agree with above try not to text when you are putting your kid down just be unavailable.

EP is an ahole. One thing i learned - Never respond when you’re putting your baby to sleep. You are unavailable period - no excuses - it’s life.

Take it to HR.

My boss told me something similar, and he meant that I did not need to justify not responding immediately. If you have a good relationship I would just clarify with him.

Same - I read this as the EP saying no need to justify not responding immediately.

How's the job security at Accenture as such? I know that last year, they sacked people ruthlessly and now are facing a resource crunch. Also that they mandatorily place poor performers in PIP.
