Is anyone else ending the year staring at a pipeline that looked solid in October? Deals that were “90% done” quietly slid, budgets froze, and suddenly it’s all about explaining the gap. Forecast calls feel more like postmortems than planning. How are you closing the year without beating yourself up?

I'm never too hard on myself, but that's especially true in a bad economy. I know I did the best I could, but some things are simply out of my control.

I’ve done some soul searching of late and established I’d love to be offered a FTE role in my current company. I think this is partly due to never having had a full time job which I’ve enjoyed and which have valued my contributions. I think this is due to wanting to feel accepted. I know acceptance needs to start with me etc but I think redundancy and workplace gaslighting has meant I’ve never achieved growth and status in one company where I can truly grow. Anyone else has this?
