I think I may have made a huge mistake today. My skip level director sent out an email about something and asked us for feedback. I sent back a note and provided some. One of the things I said was that our job satisfaction might be improved if we could do more of X kind of work instead of Y kind of work that we do so much of in our group. The next thing I know, I get a ping from his EA to set up time for me to chat with him and my director tomorrow. I am getting in trouble tomorrow, right?

Not at all! Like D1 said, probably want to understand your perspective more; why you think that and more about what you think is an alternative. It’ll be especially useful if you have any ideas on how to make it happen (vs just pointing out problems without offering and ideas how to fix them). Good teams are always looking for ways to make their offerings more valuable to clients (e.g. up/cross-sell) and keep their people fresh, no matter where those ideas come from.

Or you’re getting fired. But probably not.

Lol at the getting fired comment. I seriously think that every time someone higher up wants to talk to me. (You’d think at this point in my career I would be over that, but no.)

I hope that it is a positive conversation. I really like my skip level director. He’s always looking for ways to improve our teams and our people and is such a good person. My direct boss though is a little different so I am always nervous about him.

I don’t see any problem with a comment like that, as long as you sent that feedback just to him. I would assume it’s going to be a conversation about why that type of work is better, how to win more of it, and/or how to make the bad type of work less bad.

I wouldn’t worry.

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.

I cannot help but slightly look down on people who obsess over Marvel series like Avengers. Twilight series was more entertaining than those.

So this dude asked me late last night if I wanted to call him and said he needed someone to talk to while working late..told me to let him know if I had a guy over then he’ll talk to someone else. I didn’t have a guy over and not that kind of person so why assume that? It pisses me off.

The actual work is within my capability, but takes me ages to learn coz the overall team is not so collaborative and lacks communication... Maybe I need anew job
