@ACD 1: mean.

Hey, @OP. I was once in a job where the people above me were all CREATE YOUR OWN ROLE YAY, but I could not thrive in that environment given where I was in my career at the time. We need and want different things at different times in our careers, and it’s ok to ask for them and leave if we aren’t getting them/can’t figure out how to get them. I recommend you think about this review cycle as an opportunity to figure out & ask for what you need. Good luck!

Starting to hit me badly. I love to see all the coordinators getting promoted and/or leaving for better positions - i feel accomplished as all the training i put them through and all the guidance paid off, but keep pressing the reset without knowing what’s next to me is starting to take a massive toll on me. I know ever path is different, but fuck me. Give me something to work towards - there’s so much I can do to keep myself challenged and motivated

Perhaps you have a problem completing tasks?

we all have our things! (I have several that will come up in my review, including apologizing too much.) Best of luck to all of us this review season! And when all else fails, let us do whatever we need to gain perspective & identify good new opportunities (figuring out whether LinkedIn Premium is worth it + Netflix documentaries are currently at the top of my list)
