Trying to sell the high to buy the low and ending up with a bloody hand and bruised ego lol.
Most people don't like to tell these stories. They like to talk in the 1000% up percentages - not mentioning the amounts of skin in the game :)
Congrats on the new job by the way! I think I read you got the one you applied for? That’s awesome!
Cheers! yeah, I got it and signed last night. Start in the new year officially :)
Just have to figure out how to navigate that discussion with my boss hahaha.
This can be hard to have, especially if the boss is more interested in their own well being and department, than the overall health of the company.
The next month on SL is going to be interesting for the next two years!
Yeah, I'm hoping that my boss is cool with it. The company has lots of things that say "we would rather you try and move to a different job in the company then leave and go somewhere else" type mindset. Will they be cool? I'll definitely find out lol.
Awesome, great way to ring in the new year! You'll be less with clients or not with them at all?
My company is much the same and is pretty good at retaining people overall, as well as letting them experiment a bit. A good business culture to have is a growth mindset, where employees grow too.
That's great to hear! I guess working in a different industry changes things. My previous employer really didn't want you to do anything like that so I'm not used to that lol.
I've been exploring a lot of the HR things and notices about employee life so I think I'll schedule a meeting with my manager to see if I can broach the topic.
