Months spent mastering a technical aspect of a job that others find bewildering (or boring) finally pays off. You’re indispensable at a time when many are expendable.
An associate who opposed you is now an avid supporter. Can you trust it? It’s an eleventh hour conversion, but it’s still good.
Your taste for defiance cools now that things are looking up. Discreetly distance yourself from past provocations.
Showing a new colleague the ropes rekindles the enthusiasm you used to have for your job. It helps to see things through fresh eyes.
Avoid issuing ultimatums because someone may take you up on them and that could prove embarrassing. Take a moment to breathe. It’s not as bad as all that.
You can’t believe that a supervisor or client is changing the rules again. But sit tight because you’ll see it’s actually for the best.
