Let’s share dumb client stories!

I had my PDM round and it went well. It's been 3 week I haven't heard from them officially (no BGV nothing) and HR told me that they are still checking with Project Head on compensation part. Meanwhile I got another offer. Should I call and update IBM HR that I got another offer and if you can provide better offer than this or should I wait for them to comeback with some number. And later on tell the HR.

How do you approach collecting documents from a client in response to discovery requests? Particularly with broad and vague document requests that leave you guessing about what the other side is looking for, even after you meet and confer. I’m realizing no one ever taught me a systematic approach to this problem. And that big, name-brand companies are absolutely terrible about record-keeping or even knowing what records they have.

Guys, I am APHR certified and practiced Organization Development for several years and I still had problems getting a new job after migrating to the USA.

This will lead to new skill sets which will lead into more experience.
