Off topic: I am stuck in a service based company for last 4 years in a shitty project. The work I do can be done by a 12th grader. Now i want to move out by learning something new & changing my domain. But the thing is I am not able to study because I am stuck in a comfort zone and learning new thing gives me bad anxiety. It feels like I will never learn & be forever stuck here. Pls help on how to come out of comfort zone, learn things and apply for the job. Tata Consultancy Infosys Wipro
Hello Fishes, Our project management asked us to return the assets by Oct 1st. They are forcing us to pick any upcoming Saturday's to return the assets, that to we need to report the office by 10 am to return the system. Does this "return to pick up" option in Ultimatix still works or we need to go to office only to return the system.? Tata Consultancy

It does get easier. Part of that process is developing thicker skin and learning not to care so much. At the end of the day, what the client wants is most important. If that's a purple sky because they hate blue, so be it. Doesn't matter if it objectively looks terrible so long as they're happy.

Yea I agree. It’s defending the work and then also give them an option showing what they want too.
Portfolio school? Now that’s a new one ha. It might be good for you to look into some classes maybe at a local community college about improving interpersonal communication.

Yea portfolio school is good for ideas and creating the work collaboratively, getting industry connects. For interpersonal communication I would say maybe therapy, public speaking lessons.

What do you mean by managing up? How does managing up connect to defending your work? I’d say defending your work is a part of the job. Rationalize why you strategically selected a different color that will appease to the psychology of your audience. So that even if their favorite color is blue, you have a more effective option.
Or maybe if they’re adamant about blue, then use that in your strategy. The clients favorite color is blue. Ask them why it’s blue. Maybe it makes them feel calm. Then find a complementary color that meshes well with the blue.
It’s a dance. Always gotta give them options to choose from.
