Ah, the mystery of the disappearing people lead! Maybe they're hiding from you. Keep pestering HR and your manager. It's like a treasure hunt, but with more paperwork.

Hi all, My people lead is not showing in the workday portal. I have raised so many tickets even though they can't help me, Even my manager is showing the wrong person in workday portal. I have checked with my Manager, PMO, and HR they haven't helped me. What should I do then? Anyone...

People lead in workday portal- Grapevine

I’ve always been mentioned as an excellent performer by my manager since I joined the project. I received good feedback from my manager and team lead as well. Recently I’ve been shifted to a new team and the team mates don’t cooperate at all. As I’m new to the work that I’ve been doing in this team, sometimes I ask for guidance from my team mates or team lead. The team lead hardly responds to my texts. In most of the cases I’ve been learning and solving my problems by myself as I don’t receive any response neither from my team lead nor the other team mate. There was a major issue triggering recently, I was able to find the cause of the problem but I didn’t have much idea on how to solve it properly…regarding which I was constantly informing and asking for the solution to my team lead and my team mate. But neither of them responded and the issue got escalated and my team lead complaint to the manager while being questioned that me and the other team mate weren’t checking on the issue on a everyday basis. The same manager who had always been praising for the quality of my work and performance, questioned me rudely on the issue today that I wasn’t checking on the issue even after being assigned and didn’t let me speak my opinion on it. 

Nothing… just sharing here out of frustration as I can’t do anything rather than just listening to the seniors. Coz they’re after all “Seniors”/“Managers” and as a fresher we can’t really do anything about it rather than just listening and obeying them. 

I want your opinions regarding my situation.

Test Engineer

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Applied to Paypal through a linkedin job post around mid May. Got reached out by their HR late in May for an Online Assessment round on Hackerrank.

OA was of 1 hour and contained 8 MCQ on Android and 2 DSA easy level leetcode - 2 sum + max profit.

Cleared that and 2 WEEKS later got asked to interview for a subject in depth and DSA round.

This round contained general Android knowledge and in depth language awareness questions(Kotlin based).
Around the end of the interview, the interviewer asked to open any preferrer IDE and share the screen and then to write a solution for eliminating a target value from Integer array(can contain duplicates too) without using extra space.

Cleared that and went on to the 3rd round three days later which was essentially a repeat of the previous round but more conversational. The time ran out before any DSA Question could be asked.

Three days later got asked to interview for the Hiring Manager round which got scheduled and then got cancelled a day before the interview was supposed to take place. 

Tabse leke ye haal hai. HRs are ghosting and seem clueless themselves. Their workday portal also has removed the link for the role I was interviewing for.

Who else has been through this haath ko aaya mooh na laga situation?

I got a offer letter from Accenture

But in the offer letter the job title is wrong. 

I did not accept the offer, today was the last day to accept. I already sent them a mail but no reply yet. 


What will happen now? Can I assume offer letter is expired for me. And start looking for other opportunities

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I have attended an Interview round from Accenture for application developer role (react) 

I have received a mail from some ID from Accenture domain

Like "*****.support@accenture.com"
Consider ***** as some keyword like recruitment

They asked me to send Pancard and 3 months Payslips and to mention CID Number

Does it mean I cleared the interview? And will there be HR round after this? 

Also the email was not person specific as you see above.

Do I reply to the very same EMAIL or shall I contact someone who contacted me earlier for interview?

Accenture hiring process

Software Developer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi fellow developers! 

During my college days, when I was on my job hunt I applied for a lot of jobs on the workday portal but have received no response till date. The same experience is shared by all my friends. I also used to ping the company folks on LinkedIn for referral but most of them won't reply and folks who replied were confused about the referral process at their companies. 

I wanted to know how is your experience with that portal and how hiring happens in these companies is it only on campus or what?

How is your experience with workdayjobs portal?

Hi people, 
I've pursued MBA in finance, currently working at Deloitte under UK BT as a TC-1 with 1 year of experience. My office location is Hyderabad but I'm originally from Kolkata and I want to go back there. I need a referral for a job based on Kolkata in any of the big 4 firms as soon as possible. This place is starting to feel like hell and staying here is literally costing me in terms of physical and mental health. My office leadership has stayed quiet in this matter, and they're kinda "this is the best I can offer, take it or leave it." I have tried applying online in the careers portals but no responses came as of now. Could anyone kindly provide me some kind of referral or leads over this matter? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Need to move ASAP

Analyst

I am working as a Software Engineer and aspiring to get promotion to Senior Software Engineer.
My manager who use to support me went on a sabbatical, now my team is getting changed for second time in 3 months and the team I was working in from 1 year and wanting to be Team Lead of is sidelining me as I will be moving to new team now. It’s getting tough for me to take lead of anything and people around are not supportive of me being Team Lead even after knowing I am capable of it.. What should I di, should I just keep head down and wait for manager to return and rant to him or just keep poking everyone and snatch ky rights of Team Lead and stay in same team and refuse to change team

What to do when getting sidelined as an SSE?

I'm working as an APM at a startup for about a year now. I work with another guy who happens to be my senior, PM and both of us report to the director.

Of late, my senior, i.e., the PM has been undermining my work when the two of us are working together, subtly taunting me that what I've done is pretty easy and non impactful business wise. He also disregards the decisions made by me, modifies the PRDs discovered and written by me and mails them as his own.

Eventually, he ends up adding me to the walkthrough calls because I had discovered the features but then concludes everything such that he had owned everything end to end.

Recently, both of us were given a documentation to be done by our manager, i.e., the director. I had completed almost 70% of that document, but in our call with the director he presented it saying that he had written that document and I had made a few changes to it.

This undermines my work and visibility of my capabilities. I don't know how to tackle this situation, my manager is usually busy and leaves it upto this PM to allocate work, which he unfairly uses.

How do I talk to my manager about this. I'm fairly new to corporate, just graduated last year and don't know how to handle all this.

But this thing has been bothering me lately, really looking forward to any advise my fellow grapeviners may have.

Senior taking credit for my work

You definitely need to talk to the director and share your concerns . Possibly separate out projects and independently handle them.

Product Manager

My co worker is picking up multiple tickets and then assigning me work without keeping manager in loop.
We are on same level. 

What can I do to stop this? I have subtly hinted that I am occupied.

It's sprint end today. He is asking me to pick his tasks because I have delivered all the stories.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Just now I was reading a post that a person has to forcefully resign due to a toxic manager/work environment. Shouldn't there be a movie 🍿 about toxicity of office managers, as there was 3idiots for choosing career. Like how employees get treated in banks (that video which went viral, manager yelling at an employee), another example when an employee stood up against his manager (order swiggy par karo jake), there are so many examples. My team and I also face a hell level of micro-management daily but no one speaks up about it. I tried highlighting it to my manager and team but no benefit. In my company, even if you make an HR complaint they are helpless and reroute you to the manager only. I think it's the same for others as well. Any opinions?? 

P.S. Not saying every manager is bad. I have worked with some great ones as well.

Toxic Work culture!!

Operations Analytics

I have a senior in my team who considers herself a manager, when she's not. She's just my senior.  She will ping me 100 times in a day and delegate me more tasks before even before the first one is complete. She knows nothing about how work is done as she keeps delegating it to others. If I don't respond she keeps calling and she calls me in the middle of the night too. I have a really cool manager who doesn't ping me daily, will only ask for the deliverables on the deadline. I would have ignored my senior as she's not really the manager but she is the manager's pet. I have seen her delegate tasks to her seniors as well. It's been only a month since I have joined. Any advice on how do I deal with this? It's getting really frustrating.

Hey all, How are you ?
Well I am not fine, I am devastated and have no idea what to do with my life now. As I can't see any way out of this mess where I am right now.
I finally got an offer from a company where I have to join in 1 month but my current company is not allowing me to leave before serving the notice period of 90 days. Despite being on the bench for the last 5 months and still no hope for getting allocated with a project. Firstly, my manager told me that they'll give an early release if I find another opportunity somewhere. But now since I have got the job offer from a different company he denied it. 

The HR of the company where I have to join after a month told me it's not possible to wait for 90 days and he'll revoke the offer if I am unable to join in a month.

😓 my life is a complete mess now. Don't know what to do. I am literally crying every hour, seeing my career getting ruined. It was my mistake joining such a company where employees are not at all valued. 

It was difficult for me to find another job as I didn't have proper experience. I worked on a project for 8 months only and the project got ramped down. 

Now I don't have any choice. I feel like I am trapped for life and there is no way out.
Writing this post with watery eyes. Hoping to know if there is any solution to this trap.

Resignation

Network Analyst

Had been rescheduling an important demo for a while, because my backend team specifically kept taking longer and longer. 

In the end, 10 minutes before the demo my team told me they’re not going to be able to load new data and if I could do the demo with old data (which was wrong and hence the need for new data)

I’ve already asked my backend lead to escalate non performers, but he doesn’t want to follow the company procedures.

How do you deal when your team under-delivers?

Product Head

Same as title.
As a product manager, what to do when your EM is not supportive and passes the buck to you always, doesn't accept mistakes, instead waits for the chance to blame you instead.
You can't even escalate, because of course you have only one EM. Of course, your team's EM will not change.

How to cope with bad EM?

I want to share my experience as a fresher at Accenture, my first company from a college placement. The first six months were fine, but then I faced severe mental harassment from my supervisor and manager. She constantly criticized my work and gave negative feedback, causing me immense stress. I often skipped meals and worked weekends to improve, but nothing helped.

Despite reporting the issue and requesting a supervisor change or a different track, my requests were ignored. The harassment worsened, affecting my physical health, and I couldn't eat or sleep properly. My manager controlled trivial aspects like where to sit and whom to talk to, making the situation unbearable. I was even forced to switch from a developer role to a tester, despite being trained as a developer.

The final straw was being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without a clear reason, with the same harassing individuals assessing me. I only had 1.9 years of experience then. I reported the mental harassment to HR and resigned due to deteriorating health, panic attacks, and weight loss. Despite having no other job offer, I couldn't continue. Even during my notice period, I was forced to complete PIP assignments, which led to suicidal thoughts and further health issues.

Now, I am jobless, feeling helpless and frustrated. With less than 2 of experience, I struggle to find offers in a down IT market and don't know what to do next.

My Experience as Fresher with Workplace Harassment and Forced Resignation at Accenture

Put the same on LinkedIn and tag the bloody manager.

Team Lead

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement.

Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.

I’ve been an Engineering Manager before. Ask me anything.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Happy almost Halloween! What have been your most horrific experiences at work? 

I’ll go first. My manager went on a week long holiday, all the while not replying to texts or calls and came back and yelled at me for going on without his approval :__

Job horror stories

I developed an API that basically took inputs from a webform and loaded it into Salesforce (I have oversimplified here).  
 While testing , one of the fields was "website", I simply typed "www.rk.com" which were the initials of my pet doggo. 
 The test went well, data got loaded into Salesforce. 
 I then get pinged by the multiple people that rk.com is a porn site and multiple people while verifying the test results ended up clicking on the link and got flagged by the IT security team for watching porn on office laptop🤣 . 
  
 It was an honest mistake nonetheless, but very horrifying for me🙈

Database Administrator

It's been a year I'm working with one company that has good name. But everymonth I have 40% of the time where I work more than 11+hrs (with food and all activities I work 16 hrs sometimes)

How do You guys balance this?

I tried balancing this but my manager and lead are telling that I'm not taking taking ownership these days. Earlier when I used to work more I delivered on time and took lot of ownership. But when I work less and do just my work or logout after 10 hrs it's affecting this.

Happened with anyone?
