Planning to leave soon. Is there any way to ensure I’m let go immediately? Want to give 2 weeks as courtesy but also don’t want to work for 2 weeks as I’m miserable on my project. Going to a competitor if that helps. Advice? TIA!

When you give your 2 weeks notice to HR mention you are going to a competitor. They will pull you off project.

Thanks P1. Is this pretty standard across consulting firms? Don’t have an HR contact, we upload a resignation word doc to our talent portal (don’t think they ask where we are going next)

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar. Long story short, I was brought into my current firm and promised that the work I want to do is within the team/solution they recruited me for and aligned me with in the system. However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that I’m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)

Currently I work for a small company that does the construction of small cell utility poles and roof top sites for the major cell carriers like VZW, T-mobile, AT&T and so on. I am a project coordinator but I do everything under the sun. Created project tracker. Submitti bids, sourcing material, negotiating price on materials, handling post construction inspections, scheduling sub contractors, notifying stakeholders, coordinating with construction managers - property owners - building management.

Thoughts on this? Hired for a week of freelance, we kill it, client loves our work, then...they cut week short by a day. Isn’t that bad form? We could have worked someplace else for the full week.

Testing TV files for Extreme Reach

Is there a website or portal you can use to test TV files before submitting? I have a client who handles their own traffic, so anytime Extreme Reach rejects or even questions something that is not a problem, it gets kicked back and a bunch of clients get CC'd on an email saying: "this failed QA."

At every other agency I've worked on, we would be able to handle any kickback or tweaks internally with zero client involvement. I'd love a way to test files.

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

Client team and our designers got into a shouting match today during final review of the deliverable (client started it). Is it too much to ask that people be professional at the office- ugh.

Doing sport strategy work that’s very interesting with good wlb. Downside pay isn’t great relative to peers at other firms or exit opps that people are leaving for. Is it worth staying to finish project and in process receive a promo to consultant? Or should I start chasing the $?
