Manager pulls me onto a proj with a role description I’m excited about because it’s something I’m interested in and have a passion for. The day I start he puts me in a PMO role and when I say this isn’t what I signed up for he says yeah client needs shift sometimes. I patiently stay on for a couple months then when another engagement opens up I ask to be released and he oks it but then wrecks my scatter plot. How is this even legal? Bout to get fired over petty behavior

It’s company culture, the sort of retaliation we have no control over. I went through it once and was destroyed in my year end. Second time I just didn’t submit my snapshot to the manager and didn’t list them in my year end review at all. They play chess you gotta play checkers

I’ve also learned the hard way not to ask to be rolled off a project... some people in upper level management have fragile egos and take these things personally.

A2, we all have to do stuff that isn’t in line with our goals, especially in an economic crisis. It’s not about having a fragile ego, it’s about delivering what we are getting paid for. When you ask to be rolled off because the project doesn’t interest you, you’re asking your manager to drop everything to find your replacement. Did you offer to help? What about knowledge transfer?

Maybe you did and you did a seamless transition , I don’t know.

I’m not trying to be harsh, I’m just saying there’s more than your interest at play.

Managers really start believing they are gods. These are the kind of people that have no idea how to be a leader or manage power when they get any sort of responsibility.

How are scatterplots done at Accenture?

We don’t have scatterplots. The feedback we do is more through a document or achievement tool, we can still get wrecked for that too, if the manager retaliates
