Is it possible for a staff to be underperform only at certain projects? Is it because of the team member?

Yes. On my last project, my SM was a horrible manager and despite trying my hardest, we were never going to work well together, and he tanked me in my snapshots. On my current project, my SM is an excellent manager and I am by far the most valuable team member. Not surprisingly, my year-end rating reflected the disconnect on my last project, but having just given my notice, it’s been so nice to hear all the high praise from my current SM, PPMD, and others that I have worked closely with that know that I’m a rockstar.

YES. This is usually a sign that they are not happy, they think they are being dealt with unfairly and they don't think the project is relevant to their future goals. I've half assed minor projects, usually development type stuff

YES.

Yes, but it’s important that the person understand that they will not always work with people they like. Always good to ask what’s going on though, first

Are there any mothers here who voluntarily gave primary custody to the kids father? I love my children fiercely but tbh I don’t think I’m cut out to be a single parent. Family and friends tell me I’m a great mom but at the end of the day having them on my own is exhausting and I end up just either letting them do whatever they want Bc I don’t feel strong enough to set a limit about it, or yelling at them. They’re 4 and 7 for reference. Please constructive responses only. Thank you!

Many are wondering what’s wrong with ClearView. The problem is straightforward, if the way ClearView is organizing a project such that when one analyst or senior analyst (22 to 24 year old) fails at something, stakes are high enough that an project’s fate depends on it, then ClearView is putting way too much responsibility on its Junior staff, not promoting and severely underpaying them. Maybe it’s time ClearView brought in a consulting firm to ease its org problems

Post-MBA, 5 weeks into consulting and I hate the weekends. It means I’m one week deeper in the job, and therefore performing another week lower than the level I’m expected to perform at.

I try my best to improve but I still feel so anxious, to the point that I started crying at my desk. What do I do? Anyone here quit within a month?
