But Louise's letter for me really captured just how
perfectly things come together I find it interesting that in her first letter to us she was pretty down about the fact that taking time off to have kids might have set her back in her career but then she gets this offer and she's like oh actually no this is perfect because now we've had the kids and now I can step into this job and the kids are young enough that they can move to this new country and have a whole experience together without too much interruption so it's just really beautiful it's an adventure and also it's a memory that they're all going to share congrats
It would be so funny if we were allowing those ads on our show just to create more tea for people to write into Feedback Friday about.
Feedback Friday gets better the more people gamble, cheat, watch porn behind their spouse's backs, etc.
Dear Jordan and Gabe.
Four months ago, I was promoted to a leadership role in another department at my very large Fortune 500 company.
I expected to have to cover the essentials of my old finance role until a plan was put in place to divide and cover my old tasks.
No big deal.
This plan, however, never materialized.
I reached out to HR and the respective department leadership teams on multiple occasions to request alignment.
And I love phrases like that, Jordan.
To request alignment.
It's like, why don't you just hire somebody and not make me do two jobs, you a-holes.
To request alignment and to define a timeline to transition out of the old role, but that never happened.
Four months later, none of my old responsibilities have come off my plate.
To add insult to injury, I was personally asked to complete the documentation to facilitate outsourcing work from another department with an open role to a contractor.
The employee hadn't even left yet when this happened.
The message was clear.
We will outsource work to not overburden some employees, but not you.
You can work an extra role for free, even though I know the company has the money.
