The writing is on the wall that the company I work for is imploding. Maybe not completely, but things are clearly not going well - especially hearing things from Kitty Cat. That poor woman has to deal with so much bullshit as this company’s CEO.
I’m on Head Cat’s shit list for not telling him that a project he insisted I put together SUCKS. But here’s the thing: it’s not the product developer’s job to tell the founder of the company that his idea is terrible - it’s my job to SHOW him WHY. Long story short, I put together a document that clearly shows why it’s not a good idea, and he took it as though I thought it was a good idea simply because I took the time to create a document and move forward!
It’s hard to explain, but I’m hoping you get what I’m saying. I have to justify WHY NOT, ya know? And that takes effort. And he took my effort as a positive thing when it should have been a glaring red light.
And now, I’ve asked for a meeting with the exec team so we can all be on the same page instead of this he-said, she-said telephone tag of accusations we are all playing right now.
Bottom line, I gotta go.
I took a nice, long walk in nature during lunch today. And the trees and the birds and the cicadas spoke to me. They told me to treat this job as a consulting gig from now until the end, knowing that the end is in sight.
I’ve even given myself an “ending date” of August 31, 2025.
It might end sooner, but I truly need to treat this as a finite situation because I’ve gotten too comfortable over the last few months - ever since I found out that I didn’t have to travel with Head Cat to Indonesia, I relaxed a lot and let myself settle into a cushy WFH situation. My hours got lax, my business senses dulled a bit, and I just got comfortable.
I’m snapping out of that comfort zone now. I guess you could say I’m Ginger Snapping again, ha! Starting…NOW!
xox,
GS
