YoungHeart1980!

I hope everyone is doing okay. I am learning my role and my path here. I have to learn to be able to navigate the situation and challenges with patience and know this too shall pass. I am glad that I leave witnesses, my work documented, my resilience, and those who tried to take credit for my work shown.

No one else has been able to do what I have because I brought a new style of work that they have not seen at all. It’s new and with that brings fear. No one knows the intimate details of these projects, worked alongside the sponsor and brought stability to this department. I’m bringing the Sr. Manager up to speed on the status of these projects and I’m not sure why if I don’t report to her. The way the department is structured is not working.

The sponsor asked questions about the situation this week and if I felt comfortable and what challenges I have. No one does that. I have never had a sponsor have such a close working relationship with me. I shared my thoughts on the performance evaluation and that the administrative team here thinks I do “good work.” She gave me her full support and was upset on my behalf. I thanked her and I felt as if she is the only one who truly understood. At the end of the day she took me under her wing and because of her I have survived this year. All the Best!
