Situation : one of our clients status call which falls over various locations including Europe, US and India. I am running the 1 hour call were I need to take inputs from each team lead, ask update on open items from last day call, look for escalation points and follow up on un finished acts. The team has folks with experience ranging from 2 to 15 years!
I took inputs from our own team at my locations, rounded up Bangalore folks and then about to move on to onshore folks :
Me : As we have covered everyone in offshore, lets move to ppl in UK
High tone lady voice : Oyy uncleee, mera update bhi lenaaa
Me : Err what ?
Male Voice 1 : Abhe mute pe nahi hey
Me : Ohh, I think I missed Hyderabad, can you please share your updates
High tone lady : We have completed X packages and rest being worked at, will be completing them by tomorrow.
[ I could hear a lot of back ground noise where people struggling to control their laughter ]
Me : Thanks Mrs S
I took updates around the globe and summarized the call. The moment I hung up, I could see every one in my conference room on splits .... I realized that I have grown to a place were I could see my self older than most of the team members and hence the name UNCLE. hard realizations, but time is not far before my son would spot a gray hair on my head :)
