- There was never any clear explanation of what success actually looked like, so you were left guessing what to prioritize every single day
- Wrong guesses were met with frustration even though no one had taken the time to explain expectations in the first place.
- Priorities changed constantly, often without warning, making it impossible to focus on anything long enough to do well
- Something labeled as urgent would quickly be replaced by something else even more urgent, with no continuity or follow through
- Meetings would establish direction, only for everything to shift shortly after as if those conversations never happened
- The targets kept moving so often that it felt like there was stable standard to meet at all
- Most of the time was spent trying to interpret conflicting instructions instead of actually completing meaningful work
