Working in silo looks like this – 10/24/23

I hope everyone is doing okay. Very tough days I’m going through, whew! It’s not something I’m dreading, but having to deal with people is the challenge, not the work.

No one at work seems to be engaged and don’t communicate either. How is that okay with anyone? Today the team is restructuring, but I hadn’t heard anything about it. It came up from a question I asked. It takes them weeks or over a month to respond to anything of mine. It doesn’t seem to bother anyone as it does me. I’m not used to working like this. I’m about to meet with the next group of investigators and I don’t feel I’m ready because there’s missing information that I don’t have. How am I supposed to be successful in this job if I am not treated as a team member? I’m going to look like a fool.

I hope to God that I am able to get through these presentations with a stumble and not a fall. It just feels like someone doesn’t want me to get ahead or they really don’t know what they are doing? We’re not alike and way far apart from like-minded people and the supervisor has standing meetings with everyone else except for me. It doesn’t add up. I really want to be part of a team, not in a silo. All the Best!
