    An adjacent manager found out about my new role and rang me earlier with a heartfelt congratulations.

    This means one of two things (or both)

    My old boss wasn’t well liked.

    I am very liked.

    The amount of support I’ve received today from all over the organisation made me tear up nearly.

    Is this what it feels like to be human?

      Dunno about ‘human’, but this is def how it feels to be the hero. Enjoy it while it lasts, which will not be long. I speak from experience here. Once you start doing things the way they should be done, expect a backlash.

      It shouldn’t be a super power to feel supported but unfortunately it is… The great thing is that you now know how it feels, you can be a spreader of it and watch people bloom.💐

        Also it’s a fixed position for a few months. Just enough to make a good impression but not long enough to be negative. Happy to be a placeholder

          In my infinite benevolence, I shall allow them the first hit.

          After which Frank Dux takes over and it’s Okay USA until someone falls (them).

          Unless Bolo Young decides to participate.

        We have a budget for team buildings. I am definitely suggesting it.

        Might get a bit of a kick back from the gym owner too.
