Does it always need to be that way? No! Do we need to be a little bit more or a hard line in some situations? Yes! It is a learning experience, and for every fault in this company I personally, after all my years, can certainly find more positive than negative experiences - and that says more for the company, those that work here and everything that it does, that we do, than anything else I know! Is it always transparent that I have this option? No. In my experience, whether in a management position or even before, if I have an opinion, whether it was agreed upon or not, if it is justifiable, it will be dealt with in a way that is transparent and fair. Is it right? I will be honest, I do not know, nor am I qualified to judge. Using public forums to voice discontent is one way of doing something.

The company values opinion, even if some think otherwise - yet a voice can only be heard if it is used. Lastly, maybe the most negative thing in the company, is the feeling of expectations that are being vocalized that do not exist, do in fact, exist - the so called unspoken expectation of perfection even though the spoken one is not.Ĭommunication - even if this is a public vendor, this has also been communicated internally. Maybe its because they feel it is worth it - but if there is a fault here at the company is that sometimes, rarely, a brake is not put in place to make sure that the general healthy lifestyle is not maintained. The same goes for those not in leadership positions, some really do try too hard, some dedicate too much time, some work way too hard. If I would hold a mirror to myself, I have to be careful not to hold myself to a self-expectation I myself cannot uphold, and despite the sometimes negativism of the leadership of other departments, I cannot help but wonder if they themselves put too much pressure on themselves to justify being where they are. To be honest, some leadership could do with a bit more backbone, some leadership is misguided - but these are minor issues.

Sometimes I question my sanity, sometimes I question whether the stress or the input is worth it. The negative things here, are, essentially, the negative things that I bring myself.
