What do people think about the casual blazer over t-shirt look / attire (for men) at the office in the summers?

Not for deliverable presentations or client exec. meetings of course. But would it be ok to wear any day of the week to the office?

Or is that too casual / suitable only for Fridays or not even?

I don't tolerate summer heat well 😂

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?

Hi Fishes,

Does anyone know about TE-DL Data Platforms Team/Project in KGS. My joining date is 11th April and I will be part of this team.

If you got a job offer (which you declined) from an entity who later became a client and you are scheduled to work on that entity who became a client, do you let engagement partner know?

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.

I don't know how to pitch strategy work to a client because I don't see the value myself.

I recognize I very well could be wrong so would want to better understand it using a current example if that's cool.

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.
