My partner keeps telling me to “use my judgment” when drafting client emails or memos, but the second I do, he rewrites every word and nitpicks tone, formatting, and even subject lines. If I check in before sending, I get told to take initiative. If I don’t, I get overruled. It’s like I’m constantly walking a tightrope with no clear expectations. I want to grow, but I’m feeling micromanaged into paralysis. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of feedback loop where you're damned if you do, damned if you don’t?

Hi All, For B8 position having 8 years of experience in Project Manageme ,how much should someone quote and negotiate with the HR.

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
