> I gotta warn you my hiring budgets are frozen atm
That's quite fine, I just started a new job beginning of December 2023 and it's going to be a while until I start looking around (likely part-time / weekends but who knows, we might disagree on the promotion when the time comes in 3-6 months).
> all that came with a cost of me not being very popular with the C-suite of the company, but that's life. You can't win all people's hearts, you just gotta try to do what you think is right.
I wonder if "popular with the C-suite" is as good as many people make it out to be. If you achieve results then the fact that you're not singing everyone else's tune should not matter... but I've lived long enough to know that many people will view you as an enemy of some sort; a wildcard that must be tamed and molded and reshaped to be like everyone else. Because frak your personal approach that actually works, right?
Humans' social behavior is both savage and puzzling to me. Appreciation of personal style very rarely exists in work.
Anyhow, huge topic. I'd love to discuss it after I ping you over the email. :)
Yes. Regularly and repeatedly.
