UPDATE: The Pressures On...!

I confronted management on what I believed was going wrong. They supported me.
Hopefully its not just talk, but actual changes will be made.

16:05High, Stephanie
i just stood up to upper management
and tomorrow we will have a three hour meeting about it


16:05Anonymous

like a disciplinary hearing?
what did you do? poison someone?
or stab them with a pen?


16:06High, Stephanie
basically i asked my mentor for advice
and it ended with me saying that i agree we cant please everyone but right now we are not pleasing anyone


16:13Anonymous
sorry, I'm still confused. how is that "standing up to upper management"? Sounds like talking to your mentor is a private conversation or was that in a big round? 


16:14High, Stephanie
my mentor is my bosses bosses boss.


16:18Anonymous
what's the purpose of the meeting? 


16:24High, Stephanie
how we can take action before the ship sinks


16:24Anonymous
sounds like a good thing?


16:27High, Stephanie

do you remember anything from friday?
especially the part where people were saying to me that im their last hope?
well thats where it came from... i feel like i have to do this because everyone is counting on me
i feel like im going to be responsible for making the needed changes
but im terrified

I have been in the office for 10 hours and I feel guilty leaving because I would be the first of my team to walk out for the day.
...There's something wrong with this picture.

What's In A Name?


In Japanese my name is ステフアニー 
Let me spell that out for you... sutefuani


You must have a vowel at the end of each consonant.
Most of the language is similar to Spanglish. 




Silly language!
