“My probation is being extended”

“I realised that my TL's strategies weren't working, so I started doing things my way. Just when I was about to achieve nearly 80% of my targets, I received a phone call while working from home and was on a washroom break at around 11:30 AM. After that, there was a chat message. When I finally saw the message, I also found an email CC'ing my manager, stating that I hadn't followed my TL's strategy and that I had ignored his chat for over 20 minutes,” it further said.

The user said that she works till 2-2:30 AM and usually connects with her seniors around 1 AM to map progress. She explained over the mail that she was in her washroom break and also admitted to modifying her strategies to meet the targets. Despite justifying her actions, the woman was criticised and was told to follow her team lead's strategies after not achieving the expected results.
