“review”can be a verb though…
Venky
October 11, 2021 at 3:56 pm
Probably, she was trying to say a ‘very “actionable item” done in the meeting’. Most of the review and related comments/suggestions can be done offline. And on the other hand, “discussing” post-rework decisions and conflicting review items can be an “actionable” work/meeting item.
I hope this explanation sits apt with her manifest.

Quit your job and get paid good money to have no responsibility in a crappy service job. Literally everyone is hiring. Do not continue to do a job that’s overwhelming when you could paid enough to do almost nothing taxing. There is no career path you can afford to follow anyway.

This! You’re absolutely right.
I was working 60hr work weeks, trying to run and build an e-commerce business for a company that wasn’t even mine. Completely destroyed my health, no sleep and maxed stress all the time about numbers and could get fired etc.
Meanwhile my brother is Nurse, only works 3 days a week, and makes DOUBLE my salary. And says he’s bored at work all the time and needs games to play and shows to watch. Meanwhile I’m on maxed out caffeine trying to speed do a thousand things.
Ur advice is great and I’ve been considering going back to uni and switching Careers.
Or maybe even joining Air Force and doing a job there where it’s more of a “service”.

I would probably love to do SOME kind of basic job (in addition to being and doing what I already am)… but, I’ve no idea where to start. 😓
In the meantime, I’ve plenty of *writing* to do…

“Before I start, I must see my end.
Destination known, my mind’s journey now begins.
Upon my chariot, heart & soul’s fate revealed.
In Time, all points converge–hope’s strength re-steeled.
But to earn final peace at the Universe’s endless refrain,
We must see all in nothingness…
…before we start again.”

“Action Verb” is redundant. You need to find a more clear way to express your idea. Try “actions that change” or “progressive actions” to make your words more true to your idea.

Yes yes with deadlines and not being able togetmy work done I started blocking my calendar until my boss got ticked off when people complained I would literally only block a couple of hours a few days a week funny thing is I had a coworker that always missed deadlines and my boss told him to block time then when I did just that he called me on it.

I was part of the corporate world for a LONG time. Hated every second of it. Money was good but life was sh!t!. I craved freedom. From BS and deadlines.. I used my vacation hours and went on a cross country trip with my high school trucker buddy. It opened my eyes to what I was looking for. FREEDOM. It’s what I was looking for. I’ve been a professional trucker for 12 years now and would recommend it to anyone who feels trapped in their corporate cage.

October 19, 2021 at 5:04 am
I think it takes a VERY specific person (and personality) to be a trucker.
Just driving for Uber & Lyft for 3 years prior to the pandemic… the ONLY thing I liked was meeting new people who were friendly and interesting. Everything else sucked. I doubt I’d enjoy being a long-hauler under ANY circumstances.

Great tips, especially about having a purpose statement and not accepting every meeting you are invited to. The only part that I slightly disagree with is “only invite the decision makers” because sometimes that can make mid level managers feel invisible and ignored, and also, non-decision makers are often the “worker bee” types who are in the actual weeds and have valuable insight to share.
Sarah McCartney
October 16, 2021 at 9:53 pm
It was the tea lady at a JWT meeting who named the KitKat. Decision makers didn’t.
Yukiko Wu
October 16, 2021 at 10:00 pm
@Sarah McCartney oh interesting. I did not know that. I used to work for a very large org where decisions were often made behind closed doors by upper leadership only, and they made some very poor decisions because none of them were close enough to the actual work and didn’t understand the implications of their decisions on the staff on a daily basis. I really believe in a democratic process in which people at all levels get a voice, so to say “invite the true decision makers only to make things easier and faster” really is the opposite of my philosophy.
Sarah McCartney
October 16, 2021 at 10:07 pm
@Yukiko Wu me too. There are only four of us full time so it’s easier to get us all together, but if I didn’t ask the young people’s views I would be losing perspective. They have so many good ideas.
Yukiko Wu
October 17, 2021 at 1:42 am
@Sarah McCartney it’s interesting what you say about age, and you are so right. I’m 46 and the people on my team are in their early 30’s. They just have a different perspective and whether we like it or not, they are the next generation in the workforce so we have to pay attention to what they have to say. If leadership started making all kinds of decisions without involving them, they would become quickly disengaged.
