Had a chance to escape from Rains

During entire night I had a very disturbed sleep and when I work up I had a shock, that there was no signal in the mobile. I initially thought it was due to my mobile issues and tried different options to get internet, but everything went in vain draining my phone’s battery. I was tired of being at home and thought would have a short walk around the apartment. So, when I went out for a short walk, the rain has stopped for few hours and outside of my apartment there was little over knee deep water and could see some people leave home to reach their native. I thought why people would panic so much and everything would be back to normal by evening. And my maid came to home to make some rice using cooker and cleaned up the old dishes and went for her home. After few hours’ rains are back to it's blistering mode and started rain continuously for few hours. Only now I felt little bit panic and was worried of get out from the apartment and all the while, the mobile network out of reach and only a few places in the Apartment I was able to get some signal.

19. Betrayal in my Team

Now I have found that my salary hike percentage was different from my initial calculation and to my surprise it was even slightly higher than my expectation. I had the most difficult task at my hand, that the manager in my team had requested to share the hike percentage and even though as per company’s policy it is against revealing hike numbers to colleagues, I had no other options but to convey some numbers to him. If I had not revealed it to the manager and he would definitely make a note of it and it would be reflective at any moment during my work. So, after so many thought processes I have decided to convey some numbers to that manager and was even more confused now. As to whether reveal the actual numbers or reveal slightly reduced hike percentage or inflated hike percentage or even ignore the conversation all together. The instinct was always against revealing the numbers to that manager and I actually did exactly opposite of the same. I revealed the numbers to that manager and I came to know that he is the most betrayed member in the team. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

One more opportunity with the same SME

After completion of that complex opportunity with the most difficult person to work with, I was taking some rest for few days. And again, there was new opportunity that had arrived in my inbox and I had to definitely work on the same. I was hoping that it would be same old delivery expert and the new complex delivery expert, with whom I had to work for completion. To my surprise the old delivery expert with whom I had good rapport had decided not to work on the opportunities and was busy with his own deliverables. The most irritating thing happened to me, as I had to work with this complex delivery expert to complete and I was requesting some assistance for me. And again, it turned against me I was provided with a team member, who was least bothered about the work and takes it easy on all opportunities that is being assigned. For this opportunity I had to work with two extreme persons, one with most rude and ego-ish delivery expert and the other was my team member who was least bothered about the work.

Continuation to my opportunity work

After knowing that I had to work on the opportunity and my delivery would be deck with the inputs from the assigned SME, I had to drop all my plans about being leisure for few days. Once the morning call got over, I called the SME to enquire about the information and future steps. The delivery SME said she would get back to me with the required information and the work seems to be minimal, we can connect later in the days. I was relieved to know that there was minimal work and was going back to my leisure browsing, but sensing something fishy I had opened a deck and was incorporating some random slides to just show off my manger that I was also working. The end of the day came and I called the delivery SME to enquire about the support required, unfortunately due to her other commitments she would not be able to provide details as of now and would share at their earliest by Monday. So, I had to leave for the Friday evening to my home and all of a sudden there was another call saying that we have one more call scheduled for Saturday morning and we would require you to be on the call.
