Fishing for information – 9/4/25

I hope everyone is doing okay. There is not a big deal going on about the missing budget (blog 9/2/25 & 9/3/25). What can they say or do now since the person that worked on it is no longer with the organization and the Sr. Mgr is at home with her newborn and cannot ask. It’s me. And it’s okay because I am not really surprised that MD “C” as I’ll call her surrendered to the result and wants to keep going, move forward, and forget. I honestly thought I would be blamed for it.

I must choose, it has come to a point where I have an opportunity to take another job or having come this far and close to meeting my goals and the groups see it. I can say now I do have support, have group trust, and continue to move on with internal fear 😰, but I am getting clarity and results with each passing challenge. The past can stay behind me and that’s the hope. I can’t let the fear get in front of me, it is coming together, and I have to continue to persevere 😓.

And then MD “C” had a call with me today fishing for information on the topic of the missing budget for MD “LAU” initiative. Somehow it went missing to the summary and detail of the budget workbook. She asked me questions of who was supposed to work on it and when. I did answer for this. Of course the conversation had with the administrator dismissed it by saying there was no budget missing. When asked by MD “C” I countered the response, the sponsor sent me the same copy submitted and confirmed ✅ the missing budget. I did shrug it off the topic by saying maybe 🤔 the administrator also might not have known. I am not involving myself in the politics of it of who did what. I wasn’t here either. Obviously MD “C” was not happy which I can understand her not wanting to share of spend all her budget which is geared to her work, but we will have to cut some operations in order to meet the obligation of the missing budget from MD “LAU.”

I was heard for the first time, my truth, my point of view, and it’s not easy to be given this opportunity. There is respect now. I hope now we can forge to a new structure and establish better business practices. I’m looking to continue and lead with truth and I will not let them walk over me. My work is speaking for itself, the results are proof. Uff! All the Best!
