New year, new boss, quite literally. Bryan's first day as Region Chief was on my last day of work in 2022. I had to squeeze in a last-minute call with him before going on a break to introduce myself and to let him know where Armond left off. In three years, I have had three managers. Not because the previous ones had left the company, but because of internal movement like reorganization and promotion. Bryan, himself, was promoted from being a legal counsel with no directs to heading our team. And Armond? Well, he is now the GC, the head honcho, the one calling the shots. It is nice to know that people can still rise from the ranks, not because of politics, but because of hard work.
Quickly, changes were put in place. Vital and crucial changes. Changes that will hopefully increase team engagement, lessen occupational burnout, and break down workplace silos. The changes look promising and the new leadership, refreshing. They came at the right time and just in time. Perhaps because our new leaders were once one of us and had been on the outside looking in, that they appear relatable and empathetic. At least for now.
Despite the apparent stagnation of my career, I still consider myself lucky to have the privilege of working with exemplary bosses. Maybe I should stay for now, go along for the ride, and see where this goes.
