I supervise a large team of entry level team members. My manager requires me to meet with them one-on-one biweekly. I am finding that these meetings aren't super productive not to mention how time consuming they are. When I tallied it up, I'm spending about 7-8 hours every two weeks doing these one-on-ones. I don't really have capacity for them. In reality they should probably be done on a once a month basis. Am I crazy for thinking biweekly is overkill for entry level team members?

Are spg and spg points eventually going to get phased out due to merger?

For those who wake up at 5,6 or even 7am - how do you do this in this cold, dark, hopeless weather? Any tips for that? I wake up with my alarm but it's so cold and dreary and annoying that I go back under my sheets....

Anyone else ever in a slow patch where you get assigned ONE thing and still procrastinate it because you’re slowly becoming accustomed to using your down time for life stuff? I feel like I should be crushing things in an instant since my workload is so light, but I’m also enjoying this rare moment of down time before a launch later this summer...

Hello folks, please invite your friends to this bowl and help us grow.

How is Flipkart for Work life balance? I have ~5 years of exp and hold an offer of 32 + Stocks. Also the expectation is to know Java but during the interview process , there was no discussion of Java or any questions asked. Although the team has asked me to invest some time in learning Java but I’m skeptical about all of this as the position is Data Engineer II so not sure how the expectations will change. Even if I invest time in learning Java I can be at a beginner level.

COVID 19 crisis should make all states compact for licensing. Precious time was lost while nurses who wanted to work waited for states to pass emergency laws.

What is your job title? As it right now I’m managing a team of product owners and I’m unofficially being called “Chief Product Owner.” I’m in the process of working with a coach to get my resume updated so I can begin applying for external roles. But I don’t even know what job titles to target.

So my team currently uses onenote to house all of our SOPs and reference guides, but it’s becoming a monstrosity and it’s really hard to search and navigate. What programs do you use to provide your team with resources? Or is there some trick to onenote organization that we are missing maybe?

I am currently looking for a mentor and not sure the best way to approach finding one. Any advice?

My Creative Directors, who are strong copywriters, are really struggling to collaborate with Art Directors. Are there programs or classes that teach creative collaboration and the creative process?

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

Is there a corporate way to bring up to senior leaders that an IC is causing issues across multiple teams because they are demanding and also doesn’t collaborate well? The IC gives vague “direction” then says they are too busy to clarify. They also refuse to use our project management/ collaboration tools.
