I'm rolling onto a new project and my manager from my old project just asked me if I could keep my client laptop (that I'm supposed to return tomorrow) to help someone who recently onboarded even though I'll be fully off the project starting tomorrow. I had originally agreed to help if the new team member contacted me through our company laptop although I explained my help would be limited not having access to any of our old documents.
This project has made me so unhappy and I'm over it
wwyd??

I would tell them that you are required to turn in the old laptop as it’s not your companies property but your old clients. If possible try a file transfer if it’s not classified and you can help from there

I would say you need to return the laptop as you are no longer on the project and per the client’s terms. You can offer to onboard, if you have availability with new client work, and explain to the new team member where they can navigate to find project documentation.

I agree with the above statements. I would turn in my laptop and let the onld manager know, I no longer have access to the old files.

I would keep the old laptop and have a quick training session from it showing them where they can find all the required documents. And then return it and continue any other training from ur company one

In myCompetency portal, my primary skill is being displayed as X, where my primary skill is Y. When I tried to change it, it goes to my approver for approval and she's declined to approve it with reason that your interview was taken for X technology however it is not correct, my interview was taken on Y technology only.

Also, she mentioned that your current project is based on your X competency so we can't change it.

How to deal here?

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?

I hit my one year at my company on the 15th of November. I had lunch with my boss on the 10th and he mentioned a raise but not how much or when it would be effective.

Flash forward to now, we’ve had 2 paychecks since then and I haven’t received anything. He said last week he would let me know this week, but I’m getting frustrated.

He’s raising my billing rate effective Jan. 1, and I’m worried I won’t get my raise until then. Anyone have something similar happen?
