Trending @Accenture; RANTING,, need suggestions

I have working experience of 2.6 yr, recently in my new project my colleagues started ghosting me like if I am pinging him even though it's work related he is not replying back πŸ™‚ yesterday I have to send a mail to collate all the teams data regarding access , I had pinged him to connect in noon and waited till evening but he was like i will ping you in sometime and nothing. So I pinged him in a group and he still didn't reply but when my TL asked the same he immediately replied back. Then again I asked him to connect and his reply was I will ping. And then he sent a meeting invite directly. Do we need to send formal meeting invite if we want to connect with team members πŸ™ƒ.I can understand if he is doing some critical work or might not be near his system but again he can tell right. He is just putting me on stand-by. By the time he sent a meeting invite I lost my cool. I connected with my TL and told him all the situations and handed over all the data with me. Later I declined the meeting intentionally but that time I was also on another call. I know I might be sounding childish and unprofessional but I am an emotional person. Please tell me what you have done if I have been in my place or how I should react in future. Of course he is my colleague and in the same project I may need to connect with him later.

If there is no response after multiple follow ups, the method you followed was correct to set up a call.

Next time while setting up call put your TL on CC (optional). Also in the description explain why you are setting up this meeting. You can also mention that if you have responded to my ping or forward the information that is required, feel free to decline the meeting.

This way you have everything documented

Sure thanks πŸ˜ƒ i will follow this approach. Actually I was pinging him on teams, my concern is like for quick connect or for situations we need to connect quickly, and then that person is acting. Even in chat i have mentioned urgent and this is not the first time πŸ˜‘

Ah then you can't do much about the situation. Just protect your mental peace. Avoid dependency on such people and if a situation arises where you have to collaborate then just handle the situation professionally, give public updates and communicate clearly in group calls. Reporting to leads about it just muddies the water may even spill back on you, instead you can be the guy who is dependable but isn't afraid to speak up either. At the end of the day everyone just cares about the money.

Take your stand. And tag the person in the group when you need to communicate. Don't ping one to one. All the best

Check the calendar. Schedule a meeting. This was you can have a track of the follow up’s you have done with any of your colleagues. This will help you to avoid any problems in the future if any one questions you.

Okay, sure πŸ˜ƒ i will follow the same from now on but my thing is even we need to quick connect for like max. 5 mint like I was writing the mail need to add few details, so I am hoping there would be atleast a bit understanding between colleagues/team members. This is my third deal and I am facing this type of situation for the first time. Felt a bit weird πŸ˜”

That's not your unprofessional behaviour but it's their. Obviously we are humans and if some limits crosses than expected it results to disappointment. Whatever you did is right and nothing unprofessional about that. Our TL and managers are the point of contact and you described your situation to them. No work is more than our self respect.
Don't worry, all these are usual things in IT. I have experienced the same and even my friend.
Just enjoy the weekend ;).

Yes exactly I am disappointed and thinking what I have done wrong they are acting like that 🀧 this is just overwhelming. Even though I have told my TL, I know apparently nothing is gonna change, I was expecting in the future they don't put us together in some work at least for now. I am trying not to think much about this. You too, enjoy your weekend 😊.

Dekho bhaiya aise mein ek hi kaam full proof hai baaki gyaan baaji hai.

Aap apne colleague se baat kro one on one aur jo yahan keh rahe ho vo btao and try to friends with them.

Aur agar fir bhi unki nautanki khatam nahi hoti toh don’t let ur emotional weakness visible to them. Just Don’t conplete the deliverables on time, start documenting reason of delay with ur supervisor and on the People connect tool

Hahahah chill buddy. This is very common for juniors in the team tehre will be always one or the other person who will take you for granted. There might be different reasons that person himself was going through same situation from his upper management or maybe he doesn't care about the project anymore. Just relax we are junior we have to focus on our betterment first don't involve immotionaly too much at your workplace drama.

Do your work get yourself paid and enjoy the time with your loved ones. Life is too short to worry about this kind of people and emotion they worth nothing trust me.

I know I can understand your situation if your supervisor himself is not listening to u then you might feel left out but talk to your manager or TL from the project calmly addressing the situation properly without causing harm to your and the other parties corporate image.

If nothing works and you still feel this is continuing for a while then ask for release from the project if they don't want to entertain you or think you are no more useful for them.

Enjoy the process this shall also pass by. don't take anything personal in corporate life don't involve yourself emotionally. πŸ€—
