Struggling with new service request and people

After a long struggle to support my colleagues for completion of the service request, finally I got the go-ahead signal from the manager to work on the new request and I got very limited time to convert the document to the right shape. As I detailed in other posts, whenever I finish my old service request’s document, I try to sneak in few minutes or hours to put some effort into the new service request and it really helped me a lot to save some effort and avoid staying late in the office for completion. But, the idiots with whom I worked had other ideas, whenever I finish and send a document for review there will be no comments and the next day, they would join calls and start providing new suggestions. The delivery person with whom I worked was so irritating that he was expecting me to work on each and every part of the document. At one point I was just waiting for the competition of service request and one more most frustrating part in this service request was that the team which was supposed to be helping me was actually questioning my work and was trying to add-on as much as work possible.

Waste of work in the weekend

After working on the deck in the weekend and putting in my thoughts about the client requirements, I have shared the updated deck to the team for their inputs and review. I was not hoping to get appreciation or recognition for my work from the team, at lease they could have just dropped note to me or called me personally to share their inputs or suggestions. However, the delivery person idiot has called my manager and has stated that lot of work to be done and whatever work I have done in the weekend would be irrelevant and doesn’t match the client requirements. Now my manager called me and was asking questions why I haven’t I included some random shit that he wants it in the deck, as if he knows expectation from on-site and he himself is stupid and doesn’t interpret information shared by on-site.

Ignoring work on my vacation for irritating opportunity

The on-site delivery lead was not in a position to hear what my manager was conveying and was commanding the entire team to share the updated final version of the deck by the end of that day. I was completely taken aback by this comment from on-site delivery lead, as we have no information available either in offshore or from account perspective and to add fuel over my frustration, I was on vacation on the day. I was completely taken aback and was completely clueless about my next action, while heated conversation was going on in the call I was in complete mute and didn’t even utter a word about the progress. After the call I was waiting for my manager to call me and would request me to work on vacation to complete the deck. However, the most unexpected turn of events happened and to know more, continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

Discussion with furious delivery lead and argument

The delivery lead was asking me about each and every state and was expecting me to update it based on my knowledge, however it should be from the offshore delivery POC from his expertise and based on his assessment done earlier. At one point, the discussion moved towards offshore delivery POC and he was blasting him as well for not having the estimates in place for today’s call. The offshore delivery POC was trying to convince the offshore delivery lead about the short turnaround time and the available information shared by the onsite team. But the offshore delivery lead was in no mood to hear out any of the excuses and wanted the updates to be done before the call. The time duration was only 30 minutes between the call and this comment, we immediately got off the call and started working on the comments shared by him. We tried to address the comments as much as possible and was hoping that the on-site team would update the latter part in the deck. Know more about what happened in the call from the G R Team sites.

No recognition or acknowledgement of support from irritating delivery POC

I have been working with this irritating delivery POC for almost 2 weeks and every time I work hard to exceed my own expectations to get some acknowledgement for the work. Lastly, at one point of time, I wanted to escape from this opportunity as early as possible and have planned vacation for one-week post this work. I was closing off most of my work and was sharing as many slides as possible, so I would not be disturbed during my vacation. Finally, the opportunity considered as closed and I was off for my vacation. After so many hardships and the deck finally presented to the client, I was not even acknowledged by this irritating delivery person for the effort, which I have put in for finalizing the deck. In the above posts and in earlier posts where I have detailed about this opportunity, I have called the delivery person as irritating delivery POC wherever possible because he is such kind of a person to work with.
