Unfortunately, none of the above will get you a roll off as many projects have such issues. If you've completed two years in the project then you can TRY getting a roll off by saying that you're moving to a different tech or personal reasons. If you're a critical resource then it gets difficult.

To answer your questions. Yes I completed two years in the company and in the project still a few months left. Yes I am one of the critical resource and I handle my manager’s work 🫠 which is bugging me a lot that how will I ask. Only way I see is getting out.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Need guidance from fellow experienced folks or who have done this before. What are the proper reasons to ask for a release.

My reasons:
- work is too hectic and repetitive and no growth technically (mostly support and maintenance once in a blue moon some dev sort of work).

- Client is mismanaged they dont know what work is important and come with multiple deadlines even before prod day.

- No proper KT is given when assigning a new task.

- In the name of agile its kanban board and not jira (given a sprint task to be finished in a day or two and new tickets pulled in between).

- Manager swaps ticket often in between sprint.

- Manager is mostly away even on standups or client calls so we manage faking they worked and we manage in behind scenes.

- Due to too many upcoming requests in tight deadlines from last 3 months wlb is miserable and have worked two weeks without an off once and night shift charges given is 220 only per day.

Now I need your all guidance on what can be a better approach or how to improvise

Appraisal Season '24: What was your last salary and what is your current salary?

Product Manager

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I'm working as a BA in my current org. I'm on bench for more than 30 days and I have dropped my resignation but the HR is not approving my early release. I have an offer in hand and I need to join in another 15 days. In even agreed for notice period buyout but still that HR isn't allowing. 

It's really upsetting when we do not have any dependencies why do the HR ask to serve the complete notice period? Infact it is a loss for them to keep Billing me in bench.

Please advice what can be done here in my situation

Early release

Need help!!

I asked early release from company. Notice period is 90 days but I want to leave in a month and willing to buyout notice period. But my manager is not approving. I have reason. I am relocating due to medical emergency in family and to take care of wellbeing of them. What should i do.? I am thinking to escalate issue to hire level but thinks that they are all supporting each other.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

My manager called me in the meeting and said that from now onwards all 7 days are working because we are behind tasks.
( These tasks are irrelevant to me as these are not related to any customer development, he just wants to see how the data adds up )
Honestly I think it was the diwali week where people took things lightly and not that we are behind deadlines.
He asked me to be available 24x7 this Friday to Sunday but I had already planned the weekend off with family and pre intimated this 10 days in advance.
Now I'm getting calls that 'x' task was not done and 'y' customer is complaining etc. ( which is not the case )
On this break, I've finally made up my mind to quit.
The mental pressure is not worth it.
WHAT is a good way to put it across to the leadership??

I am ready to Quit !

Can someone please tell me the perfect reason to get release from the project😤😤

Right time to Switch

SAP Consultant

I have an onshore counterpart, one level above me. We two are setting up the project and conducting workshops. The problems I have are:

1. I work in the B shift from 2 PM to 11 PM since the client is in PST. But i login usually at 10-11
2. My onshore counterpart works in EST but logs in very late.
3. Although I work in the B shift, I often extend until 1 AM because I am preparing all the PPTs and doing research. I have to explain everything I do daily for 2-3 hours. She schedules meetings during the PST afternoon to present that work.
4. It has been 2 months of the same routine. In every weekly stand-up, she gets appreciation as if she did the work and research, without giving me any credit.
5. I can escalate the issue, but no one will listen because she has been here for 12 years, whereas I joined a year ago. She has strong networking with the leadership, which I lack.
6. I can ask for release, but I like this project and have provided solutions for some challenging gaps. I feel very bad because I work for 16-18 hours per day. She could schedule the meeting in the PST morning, but she purposely schedules it in the PST afternoon and gets the credit for my work.

PS: i saw her creating a transcript to read during the meeting

Do people like this really exist? If you have personal commitments, why come to work? Don’t you have a conscience and feel guilty about stealing credit for others’ work? Nowadays, there are many posts related to stopping gender-based reservations. Is it because of situations like this?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hello guys,

Please guide me, I need some suggestion.

I recently joined TCS and have been assigned to a client that requires late working hours, often extending until 10 or 11 PM. One of the main reasons I joined TCS was to achieve a better work-life balance, especially after working long hours for the past eight years.

As I have a client interview scheduled for next week, I would appreciate any suggestions or strategies on how to address this situation. 
Should I directly say no?

My manager, while not technically inclined, oversees an engineering team, making it challenging to update him on intricate scenarios beyond his expertise. He tends to consult his former team, unrelated to our current one, for guidance when he doesn't grasp the situation. Additionally, he organizes meetings with external parties for minor issues, leaving little time for our team to devise solutions. He often proposes numerous ideas that exceed our current bandwidth. His commitments to higher-ups and clients sometimes involve unusual deliverables. While I don't view him negatively, there's a misalignment within our team. How can I navigate this situation?"

1. Who decides the deadlines for tasks? Are you responsible for scoping the task or does a senior do it for you?
2. How often do newer, more urgent tasks come in when you are working on your planned task? Does the deadline for the planned task move in such cases?
3. Do you often have to work long hours and over the weekends to meet the deadlines? How often do you think that the deadlines are unreasonable?

Its very very disappointing that management comes to you to want some names from your team, so that they release them from the project.

All clients are doing budget cut.

Team Lead

I work for a start up and am currently on maternity leave. I am supposed to resume my work from the 2nd week of may. And My husband has to move to a different country for work. He is moving early next month.

So I will have to take care of some of his responsibilities here, while he is away from home. Having a 6 month old baby and my father in law to take care of as well. I have decided to take a break from my career and sort things out. Once my husband settles down, we will move there and then I'll start looking out for opportunities.

Now the question is, since I'm resigning during maternity leave and the project has no dependency on me. Can the manager or HR ask me to serve the notice?? Or will I be given an immediate release? 

I want an immediate release. Please advise!

Resigning 1 week before my maternity leave ends. Should I serve notice?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I feel like startups have unreasonable and unnecessary self induced pressure at times. I am working as an APM at a gate management startup and all I feel is pressurized even though the release gets delayed whether due to faulty implementation or dev or qa or requirement change from business side which the PM has no control over. While all this is happening you are left to wonder where did you lack? Was it at Product Management or at Project Management because clearly both are not happening properly.

It's weird how so little at times is in your control and yet how all the blame you have to take because primarily it was your job to think it all through.

So thing is  In last 1 week my manager/project lead has been threating that you will have to work on weekend if you dont complete your task by friday and put the the task to testing.

And this boils my blood soo damnn much . But as a person who is on lowest level i cant do/say shit. I just disagree with him and dont argue.
What would you have done .[ practical advice only]

And thing is i do all my dev work on time even earlier almost everytime and he just goes around and threatens everyone with this. Soo annoying thay dumbfk needs to get rekt .
