Discussion about short TAT opportunity

I hold two opportunities at my hand currently and one opportunity was almost completed, as it had no work for me and the delivery expert has completed all the work. Now coming back to the latest opportunity, which had very short turn around Time and to all our surprise the client had responded to the questionnaire in the very next day. After regrouping from a long weekend, the accounts team had scheduled call early in the morning to discuss about the open action items and to all the teams’ surprise one of the teams had backed out from the opportunity due to very short timeline for implementation of solution and too early response due date. So, now other teams had to come up with customized solution and the question was wide open, that whether it should be submitted or to be dropped. From my teams’ point of view, we had decided if we get our required information and other teams would complete the solution on time, we would provide support. One team which had to frame the solution has to make call about the decision and to continue the story check out “G R Team Sites”

Working on weekend for the opportunity

On continuation with the opportunity that I was working on, the team had requested for weekend support and I was finishing all the work assigned to me faster than usual assuming that I need not work on weekends. However, all things changed by Friday evening, I sent the updated deck to delivery expert for review and in return I was shared with new meeting invite scheduled on Saturday and Sunday at early morning 8:30 AM. Normally I hate working on weekends and to the worse, this accounts team had scheduled call early in the morning for updates and I had no other choice other than attending it. I was cursing every one of the accounts team, that I had to attend the early morning call at Saturday and adding to my frustration all I have to do was speak for few mins in between the call and finally the call was ended by mentioning that they would reach me for the support required. I was completing my morning duties and after an hour I got call from the delivery expert regarding the support and all I had to do was spend 3 hours to make all required changes. When I logged into my office laptop I had shock of my work, that Skype for business was not connecting and my login status was showing as offline, even though I was working on the opportunity.

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”
