If you want to find out what I wanted to accomplish, feel free to go out and
read the original
post. Hopefully that
will give you some insight into what I was thinking so we can cover how it
actually went. It was filled with optimism, hope, a sense of change. It
ended with only some of these things.
So how did it really go?
Some things this year were quite simply out of my control. The company went
through a second round of
layoffs. While my direct team was not impacted, there were others within our org that were. New positions were created as we restructured and many of my professional growth ambitions quite simply got put on the back burner. While I’m thankful to have a job, there are still some things that need to improve in 2024 in order for me to stay satisfied here. The structures that I worked to put in place have been helpful and hopefully career advancing. I was one of the few teams at the company that was hiring after the layoffs. There is still more to do and more projects to take on that keep me interested and at the company.
