I scheduled a call with HR tomorrow about (again) asking to be taken off this black hole project and switching teams laterally. It’s been bad enough that I’ve been interviewing with other companies in industry. How should I go about this without being given the usual BS answers

HR rarely has any control over that unless there’s something warranting an investigation (eg, harassment)…you need to speak with your performance manager/career counselor and/or scheduler as well as your project management if possible.

Yeah so when I mean HR I mean the person who schedules my projects as well as the person who’s in charge of my career metrics

Name the company.

PwC

Usually it’s the PMO that’s in charge of that my guy

You need to talk to your RL and the project director. DC can't help you. They don't care

Can you give an example of how you’d frame that conversation

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

I have been giving a few interviews lately and every Company is asking me to confirm if i can get my NP reduced from 90 Days to 45 or 60 Days. I'm still under probation but assigned to a Project already. Should I ask my Account Manager and HR about it or its unethical to do so. Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.

But nonresidential real estate at 27.5 years doesn’t make sense either as it’s not a brick and mortar building. Curious on others thoughts! TIA
