Hi everyone,
I am looking for a job, in operations or project management background.
I have a total experience of 13 years, my last job was an assistant manager with concentrix.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
You can call me at 9632038124 or email me at Naren_306@live.com.
Regards,

Can Apple support turn off “Find My Iphone” for you? I need to turn it off for a phone trade it, but I don’t have access to the Apple ID for that phone. Submitted a request for access but it won’t take effect until 1/17, while I have to ship the phone out by 1/8.
Any other suggestions are also welcome.
Strategy& folks, how do you truly feel regarding overall happiness with your job? I feel like often times we only see negative opinions on here (people come to vent about being overworked etc) so I’m curious if there are a bunch of happy S& employees out there just keeping more quiet

How do these nut-jobs ever get management responsibilities is beyond me.
I'm dealing with a SC who's up for promotion who is a bit like this SM and a back-stabber. I can see him getting promoted because of how much ass kissing he does to leadership
Look, I used to work for Deloitte for 7 years. You can ask for this in writing but it won’t matter to HR or the director. I would suggest a different strategy:
1. Figure out something super annoying that would be crazy for him to watch you do. Like do something like flip back and forth, back and forth, to different screens with different excel documents or something like that and just say “you’re referencing something” but do it so fast at times that it’s like a strobe light.
2. Ask if he wants to have the audio on as well to hear you ruminate on this stuff. Then proceed to take a very loud fart and/or shit and take your laptop with you. If he wants to complain, just say he himself wanted you all to be more efficient, so you’re killing 2 birds with one stone here and taking a poop while you work.
3. On the call while you share screens, make sure you loudly crunch or eat something. Eat celery, apple, drink water loudly.
Basically what you’re trying to achieve is to make it so annoying to watch you, that he stops. HR won’t do anything. The director/partner won’t do anything.
👆option 1 for sure!
Also, OP this just sucks, sorry. It reeks of low level small business micro-managing. If they have specific concerns about specific individuals, then they need to use their boss balls to call them out privately and work on it with the actual people they are concerned about. But trying to plug a couple holes with a blanket is going to inevitably sink the whole ship. This makes me think they are not confident in their managing abilities and so they think micro-observation will give them the answers they need, which it will not. And it will cause great resentment amongst the regular hard-working folks.
If your one of the regular hard-working folk, come on over to Publicis where this would never be tolerated.
Personally, if someone asked me this I would talk to my HR person and my career coach who I’m 100% sure would escalate it to the partner and tear this manager a new one. Like, there is a zero percent chance in ~my~ firm/group that anyone would find this acceptable.
Hopefully that’s a helpful data point...

Report to your TBA, say this seems invasive, creates distrust, it’s demotivating and it’s treating you guys like children. The TBA will then reach out to the PMD.
I’d be more than happy to let them see my screen while I apply for new jobs.
Did I get here too late to make the “you guys still use Skype???” joke?
This sounds like peak Deloitte to me. Micro managing control freaks
Dear MicroManaging SM: That’s a Big No Can Do. Roll me off your project immediately.
Second step: freshen resume.
Wow
He’s that bored? Someone doesn’t have much to do lol
This!!! If that person is asking to do this, then they have more time in their hands to be doing IC work
Insane. I would ask the SM why they feel the need to do this. Regardless I would say no
In writing and then to HR
If you have an issue, and a marginally good performer literally give your resume out and you will have a new job in three months
What a clown show
Simply tellHim/her No !!!
Not sure if there is more to this story as there were not a lot of details. However what was reported here, if there are not some extenuating circumstances sounds disturbing. Would escalate this to partner and possibly ethics hotline.
Look at you try and speak from both sides of your mouth. Bravo.
My last project manager was like this. Before the pandemic when we were home on Friday’s he would open a Skype bridge and make everyone join it. He would make everyone stay on that bridge all day and you would have to be available in case he called your name to see what you were working on. Worst manager ever
What's a Skype bridge?
Why not just say no?
Let me guess...consulting first job out of university?
Is this really true or a joke by OP? OP hasn’t posted any replies or mentioned how the say went or what did they do.... 🤨
*day
What level are you? There’s so many projects looking for people so it sounds like you should try to search for another team. feel free to dm me, I might know an sm that’s looking for people
Soo...haven’t heard from the OP all weekend.....this has got to be a joke! Basically, let it loose on us and ✌🏼

His boss asked him to set up a Webcam in his apartment as well for 24x7 coverage of activities 🥸
This is dumb. He should just acknowledge his role in the pointless game of “productivity” we are all playing. His ppl don’t have meaningful work to do so they waste time instead.
I would ask for it in writing and submit the complaint to hr to have a paper trail and then proceed to deny the request. In my experience with any of the consulting firms if you are a citizen you can say no all day everyday and get away with pretty much anything and your manager will just go cry in a corner or throw a fit and not be able to do anything about it. Then go try to move internally or leave the company for sure 😁
I used to have my managers (happened to be Indian) avoiding me at all costs by the time I left my old company.
Nuts!
I would escalate this to the partner, no doubt
