Has anyone dropped themselves from a firm initiative with leadership? It’s 10-15 hours a week I just can afford. What is the impact?

What initiative takes 10-15 hours that’s like a part time gig

like

Yes. Talk to your leadership and explain your situation. Offer to help find a backfill, and help with the transition.

Just did this after the leadership in charge was less than kind. I also think the firm initiative was a waste of time and something at least 5 other teams were already working on. Impact is an accelerated new job hunt.

This is when you bring more people in and delegate

Would like your advices. Awhile back I applied and was video interview for a position at a competitor. I suspect I wouldn’t get it based on the vibes they gave off. Now randomly I get an email from one of their recruiter asking if I was interested to apply for a similar position. Should I even bother? It might be with the same people.
