I only handout my work number...i tell clients that it forwards to whatever number i have that day.

I only give out my number to clients that i have genuinely 100% become friends with.

If my project tries to create a phone list to give to clients..i just put my office phone line on there.

This was all from my acn days. Over here clients and slalom respect my boundaries

Is it normal that whenever I ask to do more challenging work, gain more experience in a particular area, sit in on client meetings, etc. (basically ask for more work so I can grow professionally), my superiors appreciate it and give me the opportunity, BUT split the work evenly between me and my coworker who is skilled but unmotivated?

The company I am interning with uses this way to keep track of projects: always answers to the same email thread (I find it confusing). Today I initiated another email conversation because I was confused by the super long email thread with a client. When asked why I did this I told my manager I was confused and she answered me this: we have always done this way, it’s not that I like it but maybe you can tell me what is better from your many years of experience. Was she arrogant or it’s just me?

Dear Slack PM,

Please create a delayed send option. Sometimes ppl work late or on the weekend to catch up and want to share something with someone. But I don't want them to feel the need to respond off hours, or forget by Monday morning. I know they can turn off their notifications, but if they haven't then I'm stuck in a pickle. So instead of me saving it to notes and then forgetting to ask till Tuesday or so, just give me the option to delay send on a Saturday afternoon.

Thanks bye 🙂
