Don’t sweat the bad vibes from the folks that didn’t get the role, but don’t miss this opportunity to lean on them for help. There are things you’ll need their help with based on your short time at the company, this is a good way to prevent hurt feelings from being directed at you for sure.

I work in a state where abortion was previously banned and is now still pretty heavily restricted.

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager.

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
