Communication is so key when working with a team, and I realized this after my advisor decided to step down to a part time position. His transition and change in work hours has made it harder for us to communicate, and instead I have to check in with different people when he’s not available. My advisor doesn’t sign on to work for Fridays and instead I had to check in with a different coworker, but they had never responded to me until the next day. This left me without work for a whole day because my advisor left me no tasks and my check in wasn’t acknowledged. All in all it was fine because I ended up catching up on school work. Still though, I would appreciate having tasks left for me ahead of time as that’s more productive of course.
