Unwanted redundant work

Meanwhile, when my manager was requesting me to put some effort on the slides to bring it into some shape, he has also made call to my teammate on weekend and requesting him to send some sample slides for reference. My teammate has no clue about the background nor actual work on the slide, he was sending few decks for my reference. I was in middle of all these chaos, as no one has exact background on the service request and purpose of the slides, but they want some information in the slides for discussion in the call. My point was, when we all know that service request was about to start and it will take multiple iterations & leadership reviews before it gets completed, then why do we want to work on unnecessary slides and complete nonsense stuff. Finally, based on my understanding of the service request, I have made some modifications, done some research and went through existing repositories for reusable contents in the slides and sent to the team for review.

Headed for vacation with irritating opportunity

But, the initial days of my vacation was calm and quiet and no major update from the opportunity and suddenly in middle of my vacation, early in the morning I got a call from my manager requesting, whether I would be able to join a call for the same opportunity and I was shell shocked. Out of no options, I told I can join the call and would be on mute, as there was some carpeting work going on in my home. Finally, I joined the call and was on mute for a few minutes, later the call started and out of nowhere the on-site delivery lead started to question my manager, that what update has been made from my end for the last two or three days. For one time my manager supported me and was raising question to the delivery point of contact and the onsite lead, that what information has been shared to me and what was the action item pending from my end.

Blasted by offshore delivery lead during the review

The offshore delivery POC and I were reviewing the slides and modifying it based upon the on-site team updates and in meantime I have also had scheduled a call with the offshore delivery lead for his inputs as well. Call with offshore delivery POC were going in smooth manner and was hoping the same to be with the offshore delivery lead. The call with the offshore lead started the initial two slides where the standard one and there was no much comment on it, he moved on to the other slides and was reviewing it each and every line and was validating it with me. As he moved on with the other slides, he was asking me the purpose of the slides and requesting me to check with all my team members and put in relevant slides. At one point he was completely furious and was checking with me what I was doing in the entire day and there was no much update to the deck than the older version, I was completely furious hearing it, how can he say that I have never worked on this slides? And he was expecting me to update all the slides based on my knowledge. Know more about what happened at G R Team sites.

Iterative changes for opportunity from irritating POC

As called out in earlier posts at “G R Team Sites” that I have been assigned to work with one of the most irritating delivery person in the team and was left all alone as offshore delivery leader have clearly called out that support would not be available from offshore team. Initial calls were to add few slides to the deck, but later on, it went to changes to every part of it. At one point of time, I had to modify every slide with too many updates. However, with my skills and repository, I was able to close off all updates by end of the day with hope that there would not be any changes in the next day. Nevertheless, every day I would get new changes to be made and modifications to structure of the deck with new storyline. I was getting furious over changes and wanted to ignore all the suggestions shared by this delivery POC.  Continue reading at “G R Team Sites” for more such experiences. 

Continuing work with that irritating delivery team.

I have shared the decks they were looking for and even pinged in office communicator to validate the information and even got confirmation that these are the decks they are currently looking for and I closed the loop and started to my home. After an hour, my manager calls me and asks whether I have shared the deck with the team, and I replied affirmative stating that I have shared the deck with the team and have also forwarded the mail trail to my manager. The next day early in the morning, I get call from that account lead stating that my manager has assigned me for this opportunity and there is a call scheduled in next 30 mins and asking me to join the call. Since, it is the first time ever I was working with this team, I didn’t want to ruin my reputation with that team and joined the call. After few mins of the call, I understood the urgency in completing the opportunity and they wanted to close the opportunity in next two days and it seems lot of work to do done.

Taking office call on travel

Exactly on Friday evening I was assigned with two different opportunities, one opportunity had no work as the delivery team need to work on estimates and another opportunity had very short turnaround time and on first day I had to share questionnaire with the client. However, on that Friday evening I was planning to drive back to my native and initially the call was scheduled early in the evening and at last minute the call was postponed even more later in the evening. Now I have no options left other than taking office call while driving back to my native and I was sure the reception would be bad due to travel. I joined the call from my car and initial call discussion was all about introduction and possible scope for my team and when exact time had come for my team to raise question, the reception failed miserably and I had to stop the car on side of the road to take the call and to my rescue the delivery expert had joined the call and was raising the questions. For name sake I was raising couple of questions to mark my presence and continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

Leadership review of opportunity with new delivery expert

After making changes to the deck, I shared the deck with leadership as suggested by this new delivery expert with whom I was working for the first time and she was too hesitant to spend even few minutes on this opportunity. The changes were minimal and it hardly took few minutes for me to make the changes and I have completed it and shared it with the leadership for review. The leadership review call was scheduled for the next day and I was hoping everything would be fine. But all turned to be on the air, once the leadership saw the deck they were questioning about the solution part left, right and center, the delivery expert tried to manage and there were lot of changes suggested by the leadership team. At last after suggesting lot of changes, the leadership gave green card for the deck to be shared with accounts team for submission to the client. I made all the changes and again reviewed with the delivery expert, got her confirmation and submitted the deck to the accounts team.

Stupid enough to use two laptops

To summarize, I wanted to narrate my experience during Chennai rains at 2015 and how stupid I have been by using two laptops. Since I had no office during the first day of heavy rains, I opened up my MacBook Pro and started to stream YouTube videos to my TV’s chrome-cast. The maid came late at around 10 AM and as usual she cleaned up the home, washed used dishes and made rice and left for the day. During her work at my home, we were discussing how horrible the rain was and hoping it would end within few hours and everything would be normal by tomorrow morning. Now I was all alone at my home, my parents were at native and I used to stay alone at my Chennai home. Maid left at around 10:30 AM and I asked her to be safe as the rains are getting heavier as each hour passes by. I was enjoying my leisure time at my home watching some random YouTube videos casting from my MacBook Pro to TV. Now started the most horrendous task ahead, the electricity went off by 11:30 AM and I was still using two laptops. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

Getting A Gas Station Started

A business idea that almost everyone will likely need at some point is a gas station. However, your design should be one that people want to visit instead of a simple design that only offers gas and maybe a few snacks. Consider gas station builders who can come in and look at your property to determine the best way to begin the design so that you don't have to think of everything on your own. Start with a business plan that includes prices that you're considering for the gas that you're going to sell as well as a plan for the other items that you're going to offer to customers. 

Find out what kinds of permits and insurance policies you need to have for your business and to protect your customers. This is important because you want customers to be safe while they are on your property. When you're working with gasoline, then you need to have a plan in place in the event of a severe emergency that could result in a fire or an explosion. There are franchise opportunities available that can sometimes make it easier to be a success in this industry. However, you would need to abide by the regulations that are set forth by the franchise. If you venture out on your own, then you have a bit more freedom with how you set your prices and the layout of the building. 

Set a budget for the business. This budget should include amenities that you're going to offer as well as your rent for the building and the property. You should also have a budget for any employees that you plan to hire and a safety net of money for the first few months so that you can build your profits instead of losing money after opening.

15. Finally got salary revision

After waiting for a long time and looking anxiously across various groups for some insights, finally I got my salary revision. On that day, I was assigned to work on the opportunity and the call was scheduled early in the day. I logged in for the call and finished my updates in the first few minutes and later on, the SME was discussing about some technical and project related stuff. I was least interested in listening to those discussion and as usual I was browsing through social sites for some information related to my Salary revision and one person posted an update mentioning that he/she got her revision letter in the portal and I was shell shocked. I immediately logged in to the portal and shocked to know that salary revision letter has been released. My fingers started to shake out of nervousness and clicked the link, the PDF opened and for real I got my long pending hike. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

Complex opportunity with difficult SME

After a long time, I was again assigned with the complex opportunity to work on and was preparing myself for the opportunity. Usually whenever I was assigned with the complex opportunity to work, I was tagged to the delivery expert with whom I have good rapport and, in the past, we have completed complex opportunity with ease and minimal effort. So, for this time as well I was looking forward to work with the same delivery expert and had contacted with him for further effort required on this opportunity. To my surprise I heard a shell shocking news that he would not be able to support me on this opportunity and also, I had to work with one more delivery expert for this complex opportunity. I thought the delivery expert would be cool and I would finish this complex opportunity with ease. However, the exact opposite thing happened to me and I came to know that he is the most complex person to work with of all the delivery person I had worked earlier in this company. The delivery expert was so rude and arrogant with other key people with whom we would need to work further for this opportunity. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

The day in IT

Morning I woke very late at the neck of the moment to take my office call. I have habit of drinking coffee daily in the morning and had to rush for making it. During coffee making process I was too lazy to even see what’s happening to the boiling milk and then suddenly I get message from the Delivery POC with whom I was working on an opportunity. The message detailed please share me the meeting number to join the call, then I had to login through my mobile and copy the meeting number, paste it in the message and had to send it. In all these process, my milk was boiled and I was late for about 5 mins, coffee was tasting worser than ever. After having that badly tasting coffee,I rushed to join my office call. The call was going on and on for a very long time, I was tired of hearing all the unnecessary topic discussions and all of a sudden some random key POC was talking about my scope and I was completely no clue about what they were talking. All these time I was checking my regular office mails to see if I received any important mails. Continue at “G R Team Sites”
