Yesterday, I was mentally overwhelmed with the amount of work and action items evolving with this new project assigned to me. I have six meetings today. There is so much visibility on me from thirteen lines of business, a lot of financial-related knowledge needed that I despise, and the expectation for me to keep it all organized and moving quickly.
Our managing director keeps saying, “You do good work; you get more work.” The statement evokes resentment and the need to flub assignments to prevent that from happening.
I’ve traveled the career-oriented path, which is not for me, but I keep connecting with people who want me to think it is. Once, I worked for someone who understood that not everyone wants that in their job, and he didn’t push me into situations like that. I miss working for him. Anyway, Happy Thursday.
