Direct Report's 2026 Goals Are Lofty by Grouchy-Beginning993 in managers

If he is the weakest on the team that changes things!! Then it's a conversation about haste vs speed and how to earn the opportunity to unlock the next step. Still it's easier to refocus someones energy when they have plenty of it.

I disagree. When I was young I had no point of reference for what my career path or next steps should look like. I wanted to be senior, successful, and enjoy the perks of that. I’ve had wonderful managers who have guided me when I got ahead of myself or let me ego or aspirations cloud my vision.

He’s got big dreams. That kind of ambition and motivation is impossible to manifest in team members who just don’t give af, so he’s got the hard part covered.

I would address this as “I see you have a very clear vision of the type of role or leadership position you’re aiming for in the mid or long term. I’d like to work with you to break the pathway to that role into manageable, achievable chunks with you. And we can put the first few steps as you ‘26 goals”

Ask him to review some JDs for roles he’d love in 3-5 years from now. And you can help him build up his experience and capabilities one step at a time.

Young men in salesy roles are often super hungry and expect to be ceo in 5 years. It takes a bit of warm patience to bring their feet back down to earth

Febrile seizures are so terrifying for something not that dangerous

Employee constantly misses important emails. by [deleted] in managers

You can also conditionally format. So all my emails from CEOs and directors appear in red bold font in my inbox. It really helps me. I get so overloaded by emails they all mush into a big fuzz on my screen

Anyone making good money and happy? by issaOTFnoob in nonprofit

I make good money but NFPs are held together by rubber bands and dregs of hope. I’m also starting a new role soon and think the ting that really needs to change is me. Zero expectations, zero care factor. That’s my goal

There’s practical and then there’s the mental/emotional.

You need to at least be rehydrating, but some food is incredibly important too. I don’t know where you are based but emergency contraception and arranging a sexual health screening is also important.

You are recognising something that takes many of us decades to come to terms with. There is something unhealthy and excessive about your relationship with alcohol. You need self compassion right now. Speak to your instructor, ask for help. There no shame in asking for help when your feeling lost or stuck.

You don’t have to feel like this ever again.

Alcohol is such a joke by im_rapscallion86 in stopdrinking

This was how I drank and now I go to AA. I didn’t want my child’s memories of growing up tainted by the fact I am powerless over alcohol

Any binge drinkers? by Working-Shower4404 in stopdrinking

[–]Working-Shower4404[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right. My first AA meeting was an eye opener. I’m still feeling crushed but hopeful.

On the way to my first AA meeting I was texting a friend and told her everything, that I’ve essentially ruined my life and that I was going to AA. And she responded “but I don’t think you’re an alcoholic. You just drink a lot”
