If I have literally no experience in this type of project, you can’t expect me to be honest about how little I comprehend the project AND give me shit about how I should know the answer to this question based on one vague statement that was uttered on one of the 15 super technical meetings we had last week. Either be willing to take the time to explain things, or don’t expect me to be effective at my job. 😡 I’ve tried scheduling time to get explanations but there’s too much work to do.

For real. Also why can’t people just say what they mean. Indirect communication is annoying.

Well they can expect you to comprehend the project and answer questions.. it’s just unreasonable of them. But plenty of managers will have unreasonable expectations- it’s on you to bring them back down to earth even if that process feels uncomfortable for you

t's important to communicate your concerns to your team or supervisor and express the need for clearer explanations and support. Finding a balance between managing workload and ensuring understanding is crucial for your effectiveness in the job.

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before.

I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent.
