A crisis in faith isn’t the worst thing that can happen. It gets you to reexamine beliefs you stopped believing in long ago.

You discover that a financial matter remains unresolved. And the worst part is that you weren’t informed in a timely manner. Take care of things ASAP and then find out who knew what when.

Don’t manufacture excuses for someone who’s been remiss. This person needs to tell you why they did what they did and how they’re going to make it up to you.

Good luck trying to get people on the same page. You’d have an easier time herding cats.

Say what you mean and mean what you say today. Leave any room for doubt and it will only come back to haunt you.

Passed over again? Meet with your superior and ask why this is happening. You might discover that this is more about funds and timing than it is about performance.
