工作的转换(1/3)

I'd been feeling for some time that a move was overdue, and I suppose it was just the fact that I thought I'd miss the friendliness of the place that held me back. But in the end I realised that I could spend my life there and not move up the ladder. You could see how the roles with responsibility were filled by people who weren't themselves about to move on. I'm glad overall. I can see my role will continue to develop here, and I've had no second thoughts. The only drawback is that it is a bit chaotic here. So even though I'd say I was pretty effective at meeting deadlines, there are others who aren't, and their inability to sort out each day's tasks can create bottlenecks that cause frustrations. I was getting tired of the sense of doing the same thing over and over again and decided it was time to ring the changes. I'm pleased I did, because I've got a greater range of responsibilities now, and it means my skills and abilities are put to better sue. It is a smaller outfit, of course, and the MD does rather keep himself to himself, but generally, I like the independence that leaves me, particularly with such high-quality support staff. On the other hand, something that should be addressed here is the issue of assessment. The system here isn't actually very relevant to what people actually do, so sometimes you're judged on the wrong issues.
