Looking for some advice on the following - I want to make a pivot back to client services, specifically advisory/consulting/transaction services. I have 4 years public accounting experience, and 3.5 years manager experience within the corporate controllership function, both technical and SEC reporting related (more technical than SEC). What roles would I be a fit for? Public experience includes tax and audit. EY PwC KPMG Deloitte

to my account team. She didn’t get the hint. Today she has sent me a WhatsApp message at 5 a.m. to discuss the VO options she has written for her market. We don’t use WhatsApp for work. I ignored her. Guess who has just sent me a FB friend request?
Speak up now. And handball it to account.
Let me guess. Samsung.
There’s no reason not to politely suggest that she go through account simply to make sure you don’t miss something important in what she’s saying. Say the team may have perspective that you don’t so you want to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Oh definitely speak up now.
Also with GDPR requirements I am shocked that anyone in the EU would use WhatsApp as a means of communication. She may be in violation of corporate policy.
Direction should never ever be given over WhatsApp and if you are in a holding company you probably have a policy against using it for business. But yes as others say, speak up now.
OMG this is insane. I always protect my teams from clients. Bring it up now!!
I think it’s fair to say that you use corporate communication channels for work and try to maintain a separation from your home life with social media. The best way to get a timely response that can include colleagues when necessary is through business channels
I look forward to your inevitable Snapchat relationship
Stalker with separation anxiety.
At what point do I ask my Business Director to speak with her? She’s quite unstable and I can see how such a talk can backfire. But I just can’t anymore.
@S1 yup. Quite a few articles about potential pitfalls.
Wow that's nuts
Nightmare
@CD1 LOL, I was thinking the same thing hahahaha
That's seriously a crossing of boundaries, even for a client-based relationship.
@GSD wtf?! WhatsApp is an Account persons best friend in terms of working with clients, engaging them at key moments, building the relationship. Since when did GDPR say WhatsApp was out of bounds? Seriously WTF! And genuinely now, why would my holding co put in place a ban policy based on GDPR. I thought I knew it well enough but how does WhatsApp break GDPR rules? This is ridiculous!
