Work follow up

RedZee · March 2014

So a couple of weeks ago I posted about how I was assigned a pretty crappy project at work because it doesn't require travel and I can easily work from home for it. I was feeling like maybe my choices were going to end up killing my career.

My manager's manager reached out to me today about it. He said:

so my thoughts

1. that's awesome because it's not all that demanding as you ease back in after kid #2

2. it's boring as hell - so i expect you'll want some kind of creatvie outlet

and

3. your talent level is WAY higher than what that project requires, so as soon as you have your feet under you - we're going to put you on something more strategic

making sure you know that i know that this is a placeholder

and i'm waiting for you to say "go"
sound good?

I am SOO happy and relieved! Figuring out what the best choices are to balance work and life is really difficult. I know you all know that too.
