I'm probably the outlier who don't care too much about showing my value to my employer as long as they pay me. Somehow getting appreciation (whether true-hearted or not) is not a huge motivation to me. The reason I moved forward with this role was because miscommunication or zero-communication bogged down my work and created potential hazards in the maintenance phase. I'd like to remove those obstacles so I stepped forward to clean it up. I always protect myself by ccing everyone and try to reduce my responsibility in all of these -- because it is not clean cut who should do this communication type of work.
Maybe that's why I hate it.

I'd like to remove those obstacles so I stepped forward to clean it up. Are you me? I'm a systems thinker and I, too, have to stop and analyze workflows and try to "fix" things. Probably why I ended up in process/management consulting.
- ferguess_k 2y agoWe probably have the same mindset. Somehow I just want things to flow smoothly. I love and hate it though.
