Accept their children and learn to deal with the distraction. If kids are 3 or less, I take them to see the magic scanner or let them sit on my knee and play with the calculator. Older kids, I have a kids area with games and tv.

I haven’t had this problem but I would try to schedule the meetings for times the kids will be in school or ask them if they’d like another time that’s easier to find child care and see if they take the hint

I think it depends if the kids are a distraction to the client. If the client can’t focus then I would schedule it for a time the client is free without kids. If the kids are not a distraction to the client, I am more than happy to have them in the office.

I recently joined TW some months back and I dont know why I think have made a wrong choice for myself. I am feeling like I am lost. I am not able to fit in in this high expectations environment. I am used to working in a place where we always worked by taking help from others and here it is sort of assumed that we would be knowing everything right from day 1. Also there is no pairing in my project. Any suggestions on what should be done would be welcome.

Former client( filed a bar grievance that was dismissed, sent me a demand letter that an attorney responded to on my behalf, and filed a BBB complaint against my non-BBB law firm) has now pro se filed a lawsuit against me in small claims court. Alleging misrepresentation, failure to file a lawsuit, and failure to advise during the process. I have phone logs, emails, and billing notes (all of which she has) that show she’s lying. Should I notify my malpractice carrier? All advice appreciated!

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for
1. Number of implementation projects done.
2. Work experience on S4 Hana.

And if I don't have atleast any one of these, I will not be considered.

Is it really that important ?

Being joined as a fresher - Is it really something that I can decide whether to be in support or implementation project ?

Is upgrading of ECC to S4 Hana in my hands ? And the difference is really that vast ?

My was mom grumbling while working on a flier for her non-profit job. I asked if she was ok. She angrily told me her boss had went into the file, redone her entire concept, and added more words. So I told her what I tell myself, “There’s always another way to say something.” I also said that my bosses change my work, too. She quickly replied, “Yea, but they don’t change everything!” I laughed and showed her my screen. My ECD was in the middle of deleting all the words I just wrote on a slide.
