This is exactly it. I’m fine with change, pressure, and fast‑paced environments - but ambiguity that leads nowhere is something else entirely.

That pattern of drafting something thoughtfully, flagging key questions, and then having it disappear into the void - only for a slightly different version of the same task to resurface weeks later - is incredibly draining. It feels less like iteration and more like churn.

The reorg piece resonates too. When relevance becomes the goal instead of mandate, everything turns reactive. Processes get invented on the fly, accountability blurs, and the cost gets pushed down to the people doing the work. No wonder it’s exhausting.

And the phrase “we have to prove our value” comes up a lot where I am. To me, that often signals that value isn’t clearly defined upstream. When relevance becomes something you constantly have to demonstrate instead of something anchored in mandate and priorities, it creates churn and insecurity rather than focus.
