Hi Everyone,
I just received an offer to work as an software sales representative (SDR) for IBMs Z systems. I'm coming as a sales engineer in the cloud security space. Can anyone advise me on whether Z systems are something worth going into? Also what do the growth opportunities look like at IBM? Is there opportunity for lateral movement onto other teams? Not too sure how I feel about working on mainframes (Z systems) but they keep pitching hybrid cloud to me. IBM

Most Senior person is responsible so an analyst will end up doing it
Pretty sure they don't care (and don't really need to) who does it - it just needs to get done. It's the responsibility of those in the 'to' field to figure it out.
I cannot believe there is a question. It is up to the team to coordinate, with the most senior person leading and delegating. Even in the small chance that everyone on the email is the same level, someone step up to coordinate with the rest. How would the PPMD respond to an excuse of "it is not finished because you didn't tell us who is responsible."?
I think the risk you run is that nobody steps up until the second email from the PPMD asking if the job is done yet. 😀
^1 nailed it! OP, this is your chance to step up and show leadership.
Agree to an extent with PwC 1. From the receiver's point of view, it makes things more difficult and time consuming when the sender just sends broadcast rather than using one name in the To field. Why can't we take the extra minute to specify rather than creating confusion among recipients resulting in x times the waisted effort (x being the number of recipients)?
^^ you got it, C. The partner probably ensured someone on the thread is someone they regularly talk to. That person will be on the hook next time they talk, so hopefully they will respond the to the smaller group and coordinate
Shit rolls down hill
Partner principal managing director
If ppmd emails director specifically, director will likely turn around and email mgr, and so on. Inefficient. Not ppmd’s job to assign specific tasks. Work it out.
Who isntge most senior.
Bad style imho
What is PPMD?
If it’s truly shared or person is purposely wanting to see who will take point, sure.
But if they already have someone in mind for taking point, they should communicate that clearly
Agree w C1 - often the P may not know who is owns which specific task but just wants to make sure it gets done.
