Recent change in org structure and there is a change in my reporting. My role stays the same (BU leader) and I ll be reporting into a new global head. The new head is an external hire and hasn’t really gotten the time to get upto speed on the business yet. Despite this, we are heading into a big meeting and I need him to relay to the business community that I am his representative for the local business. This is important so we can alleviate nervousness of the business community because of

I agree with the sync/prep meeting. And in that meeting I would say it just like you said it to us….”I need you to x because y.” Most bosses will appreciate the direct language.

Ugh. I went through this earlier this year and it was painful. Be a good partner and suggest a 15-30 min sync to prepare for the meeting make it informational and address the key points to make sure he has visibility on the critical issues, understands what your role is, what the team contributes, and stakeholder communication. Make room/opportunity for questions and if he does not ask any or does not feel the need to meet, then trial by fire it is - at least your stepped up. FYI my new boss ignored my olive branch and made a complete fool of himself in front of cur partners.

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.
