Hi Fishes, Any senior staff engineer here, role associate project manager at Nagarro. I would like to know more details about project allocation and work you do. I recently got selected as one. I can see a lot of heat from developers against nagarro here but what about mid level management such as associate project manager!??
TIA
Hi guys ,
I am in a US project in Accenture.We have long calls in the night timings. My other teammate has backed out saying she won't attend any calls as she got some medical condition so she won't attend long calls which extend till 9:30.Other teammate is a junior.The managers are expecting me to join all the calls.No help I am getting. And they all being Tamil, I think some partiality is going on between them.Even our onsite lead is of no use.She expects me to attend long calls.
What should I do .pls suggest?

No pet peeve in particular. I just hate people, generally speaking. 😀
A coworker does not pick up social cues or just wants to keep talking incessantly or their Teams is delayed? 🤷 There have been several times where someone wants to interject to ask a question about what they're saying or provide a comment and they just keep talking. During coworker's brief pauses, someone will repeat their original question that was overlooked and eventually give up/switch subjects after trying to bring it up 2-3x because coworker keeps going. This is not some big meeting though, very casual so maybe they're excited to pour out personal details.
My co-worker always randomly turns his chair around and scoots right up to me when I’m focused with headphones in just to say “whatcha doin?” as if he’s a bored child. Stares at my computer screen too and asks what I’m working on, super rude imo.

Is your coworker Andy Bernard, aka Nard Dog aka Boner Champ?

When a low-level client asks a pointless question solely b/c they were taught to ask questions during meetings so they appear engaged. These often lead to moronic conversations about non-issues which ruin momentum and extend meeting time.

🤢 this just gave me PTSD from my last agency
What’s the worst is when you have a talker on your team too and they both just won’t stop blabbering
People literally just writing "hi good morning" and wait for me to respond before giving me their question.
Just put it there and I'll read/answer it later

It’s superficial to pretend you want to have a conversation when you really just want something.

When the new guy with the least amount of experience comes on the team and makes promises to the customer that we can’t keep and we all have to work three times as hard just did not meet the deadline
Yes, I do know what you are saying.
In my case it’s actually more like Minnesota/Canadian vibes of “don’t ya know” lol

I absolutely HATE when people who have my cell phone number ping me on Teams. Just text me.

Well it’s people I’m cool with. They do it on purpose because they know I hate it 😒
My manager who:
1) Asks me a question
2) Doesn’t let me finish a sentence
3) Interrupts with their assumption of the answer
… Why are you even asking me?
Ahh haha I just read your comment below. The lack of self awareness some people have is incredible.

“No I don’t know. You just said an oddly specific reference to something I have never experienced. I don’t know Carl!”

My boss starts his emails to the client with “Hey (name)” and I hate “hey” because it’s too casual for my taste. But he’s my boss so it feels out of my place to say anything about it

I always email “Hey” to my German colleagues just bc I think it’s funny to juxtapose their “My dear madam I must hope this electronic mail communication finds you well.”

I hate when people say “you know?” At the end of their sentence. My husband does this 😂

Like that guy?
my coworker talks and talks and takes about 80% of meeting time and leaves the remainder to others and keeps interrupting. Not gonna lie, it's fun to watch if I am in the meeting as a listener, lol
When clients call when I’m busy, keep me on the phone for over half an hour, and then completely don’t follow thru with the plan we discussed.

Is your co-worker Bobby’s mom? (Only old people will understand this reference)
None now, my associate is amazing but before him the last guy I worked with would always turn on the radio as soon as he walked in the office and it was always some annoying talk show. He also couldn’t stand sitting around and would find random stuff for us to do when it wasn’t busy.
My old manager used to always say, “Gotcha…,” any time someone was finished speaking at length. I annoyingly have adopted this bad habit :/
Gotcha…
