Why are you choosing to stay in those situations with clients or colleagues like that? Either have a crucial conversation about it with them to bring about change or maybe consider working for a team and clients where mutual respect and continued improvement is part of the norm. I’m sorry either of you are having to deal with such nonsense!!

Agree with the commenters above. I am referring to a client team who has not had a lead on their end for months. The rest of their team hasn’t functioned well since. In my experience, larger clients get to do what they want

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.

Can someone explain the difference between FB’s Partner Solutions Manager and the Strategic Partner Manager? From an initial recruiter call, it seems the SPM provides the consultative product recs while the PSM onboards the client onto that product and tracks performance to provide actionable recs as needed. Anyone know career growth and salary for these two? I don’t want a sales heavy/only lateral growth role like their client solutions manager roles so these seem like good compromises?

The last episode was a snooze fest. After Daemon’s stupid storming of the caves, this was a new low in the series. 1 hour of literally nothing happening except sanctimonious virtue signaling and puzzling logic (Alicent is just forgiven for going behind her back and burrowing her way to Queen consort? Daemon just meekly listening to his brother after those theatrics/heroics in the previous episodes? The king suddenly realizing with perfect clarity how he’s been manipulated by his hand?).
