Oscillation about what phone should I buy next?

As I have been using my wife’s android phone for the past few months and was expecting to get the latest version of the iPhone. However, all my plans were completely shattered by Apple’s decision to launch a smaller version of the iPhone at the same price as the previous year’s iPhone version. This launch of a new iPhone mini at the same price as the previous year’s iPhone has spoiled my hopes of getting the latest version of iPhone 12. My budget was too low, compared to the pricing of iPhone 12, and again I was forced to use my wife’s android phone for some more time. While I was waiting to get the latest version of the iPhone at an affordable price, promotional offers were coming up in online shopping portals and even earlier generation iPhone was listed for heavy discounts. With the latest version of the iPhone 12 being expensive compared to my budget, I had the option of getting an earlier version of the iPhone 11 at a more affordable price under my budget or wait for a few more months for the price drop on the latest iPhone 12 version. As with each passing day, the pressure of using an android phone was getting onto me and I must make a new decision as early as possible.

All new requirements and efforts needed to complete the work

After multiple iterative changes from the onsite team, finally, the document was closed at my end and I have shared the same for further enhancements. However, all my hopes of the opportunity getting closed were shattered in the very next day from a long mail from the onsite team and a new team member being looped to the thread. When I reviewed the new task shared by the onsite team, I felt that all the effort that I put into the last one week went in vain and all-new solution slides had to be worked from scratch. I was completely furious and wanted to discuss this issue with my manager and as usual, he was acting as if all the slides will be reused for the new client requirements. Unfortunately, only I knew that all the slides will be irrelevant for the new client requirements and now fresh efforts had to be made to gather information from other teams. When the recurring daily call was set up to discuss the progress about the new requirements shared by the client, I was raising concerns about redundant work, and my manager jumped in out of nowhere and closed the discussion abruptly.

Good time with family due to Corona Virus

So, I took a long vacation to be with my family and unfortunately COVID-19 pandemic has taken over the entire country, so our entire team was requested to connect from home until further notice. Since I was on vacation, I had no further communication from my office and with much anxiety contacted my teammate to check about the things going on. To my surprise, he was affirmative that the team was busy with work from Client Partners and nothing had to be worried about job security or salary reduction. The conversation with my colleague was consoling and assured me of my job security. In the meantime, I had the most relaxing time with my family and after a long time, I felt there are many things to note other than being held up in virtual reality. The reason for not updating any posts for over a long time was only because I was spending some quality time with my family and this really helped in getting rejuvenated. At one point in time, I really felt that these times should be carried on forever and spending really good time with my family. However, this did not last forever, and I had to connect from home shortly after vacation, to know how I was screwed up, please feel free to check out the posts in “G R Team Sites”

Backup plan for the service request during my vacation

After multiple reminder emails to the on-site team requesting updates on the service request assigned to me, there was no response or acknowledgment from them. Finally, the on-site team responded a day before my vacation and was requesting some supporting documents from my repository. I was furious about their attitude and never wanted to respond to their support request. However, I was about to leave for the day and suddenly my manager had requested me to send those documents to the team before my vacation. I had no other option but to share those details with them and I have mentioned that I am going on a long vacation and not available for the next few days. If any support required for the service request, please feel free to reach out to my manager or the delivery lead who was assisting me with this request. Within a few minutes, the delivery lead called me and was shocked to see that I have mentioned delivery lead as a secondary contact. I had no other option but to reveal the truth to the delivery lead, that my manager was requesting me to add delivery lead as the secondary contact for the service request during my absence.
