I wake up to my offshore team messing up the most straightforward work. We are not the same.

Ex. Can you please create folders on the drive to match the folders from last year?

Offshore team: creates folders that do not match last year’s filepaths, instead the folders are embedded in other folders like a maze.

I keep them on their toes by occasionally alarm clocking at 3am est, waking up, and scheduling a call/sync

I also have some of the best perf metrics w/ offshore/international

Occasionally scheduling calls for their TZ and being awake/coherent to take & run them solo (your team will not help) has always led to better output for me.

Are they in India? Could be region dependent but our team there had a public holiday this week so many took extra days around it. I find w the offshore team it's best to learn the major holidays and add them to my calendar. It makes it so i can also wish them a happy whatever which helps build comraiderie w them too

tf is an offshore team

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

I’m a closeted no book reader. I’ve maybe read 5 books over the last 10 years… My teams over the years are always talking about all the books they read and providing recommendations, but luckily people tend to be more interested in sharing what they read rather than listening so I’ve made it this far. I’m worried I’ll be discovered one day

Several years ago a gay male acquaintance said he didn't date Black guys. It made me bristle but I was not surprised. Now he's married to one. I feel in a way vindicated every time I see his loving social media posts with his Black husband of like 5 years or so now.

How did he get over his apparent aversion to Black men enough to go and marry one? Where would he be if he hadn't had a change of heart?

I wish there were a tactful way to remind him he said that and watch as he eats his words...
