After she touched my base, I circled back and did a deep dive from a high level with my low hanging fruit, turns out it was a heavy lift for her and it a quick win for me.
When the staff was about to drop dead from being overworked for a few weeks at a time, my former MD would say it’s a “high class problem”. Hated that.
My boss says " advisors are probably not familiar with this level of granularity". Or “let’s break this project down into digestable pieces”…gotta love it.
I remember walking in to work one day at the last place I worked at and everyone had a little business card sized motivational card stuck between the keys of their keyboards. It had written on it the 5 key points about our firm: 1) The more we make, the more you earn 2) We lead - not follow 3) Dynamic and driven to be the best 4) No egos please 5) Teamwork and collaboration I quietly slipped my card into the bin, not really sure what they expected people to do with it (keep it in my wallet, pin it to the side of my computer screen, etc). I heard that one of the developers (who I’m pretty sure has Aspergers syndrome) lost it and walked over to one of the founders and threw it in the bin right in front of him. I did find the card pretty condescending and a demotivator rather than having any inspirational value of any kind.
My PM said- Please go and puke on her, I dont want to see any further slippages on this project due to her. (Referring to girl who was delaying the project)
