I joined KGS in feb 2022, we recently got a mail regarding timeline of appraisal and bonus payout from the partner. My reporting manager hasn't yet reached out to me regarding goal setting, not sure if that happens here. Can you pls help me to know what all things we need to do from our end for the appraisal cycle and bonus payout? Since I'm new to this company KPMG KPMG India

It kind of depends on what the task is that they are instructing you to do. In my career as an engineer, there has almost always been official command media that outlines the requirements for different kinds of tasks. So, reading and understanding the command media has always been the first thing that I do.
From there, you can determine in detail how to go about meeting the command media. That is usually where personal preference kicks in.
Command media being a project managing tool or specific design protocols/standards? I would agree usually there are defined processes in place and if not you can ask the three people to agree on things before directing others.
Things aren’t always so black and white
Make sure that all three are present and have them agree on task , if you don’t friction will happen , and 2 of them will go to their managers and say your incompetent, instructions need to come from one source
If they’re all mentors pick your favorite and go from there 🤷♂️ if there’s three people teaching you it doesn’t sound like there’s an official policy anyways
