One of the main issues that sent my H into a MLC spiral was that during the summer he found out that he was not going to get a Sr Mgmt position that was promised to him. One of the bigwigs took a dislike to him and burned him on one project he was working on and after that he started to go downhill. This was a man that was so totally a workaholic that H had a hard time accepting this bump in the road.
I saw H at a program review today and he told me that they were interviewing for the position he was not getting. I said in a true DB fashion that "no one worked harder than you trying to build your organization up. You have tremondous respect around here and it will be recognized in the long run." H looked surprised since I have not been a mess lately and we had a couple of emotional negative conversations. H said thanks I appreciate it. I will also have to see him this afternoon. Need to keep consistent, need to keep myself focused with all the negativity of OW working here.
On another note, when new boss is hired then OW will be thrilled because then they could come out of "hiding" since she works directly for him. Should I tell her that they can still be fired after the fact?? lol
