Working in "Corporate America" during an economic downturn (aka recession) is a challenge. People don't trust each other...they certainly don't trust their companies. There's so much posturing, and politics, and backstabbing...every move you make and word you say can effect you and your position within the company. It's exhausting. But honestly? It's exhilerating too. Maybe it's because in my role in HR, I'm probably one of the last to have to worry about losing my job. I feel fairly secure (knock on wood). But, it's more than that.
What I love about this environment is the strategy, the knack for figuring "it" out what it takes to cut it. I like the puzzle, the
maze, manuevering through and around people's agendas, their needs, their egos. And frankly...I'm good at it. For all that I loved about working at Ignited in that family atmosphere, what I didn't have, and what I relish here is that I feel challenged every day. And I feel accomplished. I kick off my heels (today: Enzo gladiators sandals) at the end of the day and feel good. I guess that's what success is. And I don't apologize for it.
