The awkward moment when meeting with the CEO that you realise they clearly have no idea what your team actually does, and has based all their plans on that misunderstanding.
Worse than that, their throwaway remarks that accidentally (or not) completely undermine the confidence of the team that they have a decent future here.
To a colleague’s suggestion that they’d be lost without me, the boss suggests there are other ways to deliver what I do. Careless remarks that leave colleagues prodding me: what does that mean?
Outsourcing, I shrug. Maybe I better start updating my CV.
