Trending @Accenture; Stressed with the work
I joined Accenture few months back and got my first project. but It is so hectic, on top of it micro management and tight deadlines. I am working 12-14 hours a day but still it’s not enough for the project. I communicated with Manager and asked if I can for release from project and he is not accepting it at all! What can I do? I feel stressed and not able to hive time to myself and family. Please help me here! Since its my first project, I am afraid what will be the consequences if I keep on asking for a release!
Go Technically
1.Calculate to story points assigned to you
2.Add extra story points for your extra work
3.Prepare one estimation sheet
4.Add working hours (excluding lunch)
5.I need not to tell to exclude meeting hours also like for an example 1 hr daily for all the calls.
6.Now based on your task calculate how many hours it will require to complete that task.
7.Either show you are working 1.5x or 2x ,or ask for extra resources in your team.
8.Send a polite email copying your lead,AM and M or Lead,Manager,Senior Manager,Scrum Master.Showcase them your efforts and get it acknowledged,either you get a helping hand or a new priority showcasing your extra efforts.
Pro Tip: If you have been assigned a bigger task with less SP say 4 ,make 3 4 smaller tasks with 1 or 1.5 SP. Be genuine while creating this estimation sheet.
Welcome to Accenture!! As per policy, you have worked at least 18 months in s project to get release.. still, you can raise some concern try to get some flexibility. Also you have to learn to say no In case of unrealistic expectations
Yes, that’s for sure. I do have to learn to say NO. Thanks man
Same with me
Oh, how you are dealing the situation?
This is the same case with me... And even after giving 14 hours we don't get any appreciation and neither appraisal. Manager just wants to get the work done so that he can show his credibility and get the appraisal. And it really doesn't matter how much efforts you put. Better to switch the company
Stress is there in everyone's life when get into new projects, it take sometime to get adjusted & u focus on learning and things that helps u grow in the same project. If u feel nothing works out here then u have to start positive side of ur life..
Same with me I feel like running away somewhere so much work I am sleep deprived
Just take few days leave. So the work dependency decreases. This is what I do.
