Not all are like that, but Im irked by people who only have their jobs/rise up because they are extroverted/network. You have to pick up the slack on the project because they can’t do their job.

Yes but you gotta be careful about judging. First, unless they're in the exact same role they may be engaged in things that you are not aware of. Second, this attitude will put you in a me vs them mentality, which will further make it difficult for you to relate/network with others.

I'd recommend doing your job well and ensuring that leadership is aware of all you're bringing to the table. At the same time make sure you're a team player and you focus on the success of the whole team.

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
Part of MC team.

Thank you.

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.
