Tell me why. Yeah. Sorry. I was struggling to come off mute. Did did everyone go already? Okay. I'll go next. But before I get started, can we do a quick time check? At a high level, I have all the accountability, literally zero authority. Keeping my job and my benefits, that's my top priority. Leadership says we we really need to raise the bad, then hands me more work because, hey. Hey. I'm a corporate rock star. For fun, I divide my salary to calculate my hourly wage then check my four zero one k to see how close I am to retirement age. Half of my job is attending meetings like this one no my team doesn't have to. The other half is leaving those meetings with a laundry list of shit they now need to do. I don't make decisions. I communicate them. And since this place is a hot mess, I create systems to compensate for them. I used to be first in, last out. Now you see me when you see me, and at five, I'll trip you trying to beat you out. I'm supposed to motivate people without paying them, reward people without promoting them, and retain people without giving them a reason to stay. Oh, and did I mention that's just my Monday. Will I retire? Honestly, I can't tell. My four zero one k looked at me this morning and said, LOL. And I'll pause there. I I think that covers everything I wanted to say. And today might be my last day.
