This Could Go Either Way

After the email from my CEO came a subsequent email from the president of my division of the company. It reiterated what the CEO’s email had said, with very little new information, but I still thought it wouldn’t reach the branch level on which I operate. In our daily team meeting, however, my manager seemed to … Continue reading →

The Other Shoe

I said in my birthday post that I was constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop, work-wise. Well, my CEO just fumbled a steel-toed boot. (Did I take that analogy too far? Probably. Do I care?
