I have attained a certain status in my employment where the worst than can happen to me, provided that I don't violate any actual laws, is that I could be forced to retire.
Needless to say, I've eased up on the brain-mouth filter quite a bit. Some people find it charming. Some people find it quite disturbing.
I don't care.
It's kinda good to be an old head, ain't it?
ReplyDeleteI wish I was there but I'm still at least 10 years away. But I'll be damned if it doesn't get harder every day to bite my tongue.
ReplyDeleteI was recently there, and when they decided to 'rightsize' the organization, I think I shocked more than a few people that I did not resist AT ALL when they came to my desk. Before that, it was indeed empowering.
