#11-15 - Part III
Part III - # 11-15
A month ago I was in a job where I was responsible for deadlines, budgets and keeping clients happy. I did not have the correct resources to do this and I believed that the company was backing ridiculous demands from its clients instead of backing its employess. Despite all this I did not want my projects to fail and would work relentlessly to do all that I thought would help.
Now I am in a job where part of my being in a better place comes from being new and not having my own responsiblities yet. I can't fix what is not mine and I can't be blamed for something going wrong on a project I do not own.
On a bigger and better level I think I am in a better place because (1) there is 1,000% less negativity at my new company and people are not festering in being miserable by they are overworked and over work by choice (2) I feel more stable in benefits and long term security (3) my position is a new one and will be evolving over the next 3-6 months so if - and this is a BIG IF - IF I play corporate world correctly I can make sure that what gets put on my plate is manageable.
This is the part that is worrisome. I cannot really use the "if I say yes to this then something has to come off my plate rule of thumb" because I am starting with an empty plate. So I have to see what evolves and be very aware of my boundaries in combination with my endless internal need to please.
Hmmm all good food for thought. One day at a time. One very consciously lived day at a time.
