Hi, Is it good to join Salesforce for Technical Consultant role (YOE - 3.2 years) ?
I checked with few of my connections, they saying I will be mostly allocated to Salesforce industries (Vlocity) project. Please suggest about the team structure and work life balance for this role.
and also in future, is it possible to apply for IJP in Salesforce ?
Please provide your thoughts on this.
Thanks
Salesforce

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.
Wow, I find it hard to believe. A decade here never come across folks like this.
Maybe it was a bad joke?
Pro
Get together as the rest of the team and as a group just don’t do it.
I’d tell him No so hard that if he doesn’t like it he can personally come and fire my ass
NAME AND SHAME HERE!!!!
Ask him to provide a policy that states you must turn on your camera all day. Also find out if he is going to pay your monthly ISP fees? Ask him for the charge number! Lol
Doesn’t he have anything better to do?! Wtf.
Did he want video on too?
What the heck? Does he not have anything else to do?
Ngl. I waste so much time each day from lack of focus; I would welcome this
Run I know of at least two projects that can’t find people
Are you bad at your job and they are trying to figure out why?
You have an opportunity to manage up at this point - copy in the rest of the food chain, refocus this as a matter of trust, and ask if he'd like the team to be reassigned or to confront the breakdown in trust.
Hmm I’ve never heard of anyone doing this before. Is there a big productivity issue on the project? Is this supposed to be a job shadowing exercise (gone virtual) to try to find efficiencies? I feel like something is missing from this story lol...
This has to be a joke 😂
7 months?!!!
Please report this to the project partner immediately.
Barf. That’s unacceptable for sure.
Chief
Any update on how this is going?
I heard about this from my friends , thought it was a joke or one time thing . I guess some crazies are there whom I didn't have to deal with till now
I would get a Skype screen cap or something in writing them send it over to ethics. This is just fundamentally wrong in my opinion as a C. Maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about though lol
i worked at deloitte for 2 years, 6 months of that during the pandemic. no one had the audacity to do this.
