My Week #153 - When efficiency does not matter

In a political environment efficiency is not that important

For years I worked and tried to work efficiently. My efficience directly impacted my salary, my reputation, and my potential for the future income. Currently, I am working in an environment when efficiency is not that important anymore - I see no clear metrics for personal ratings and I see a lot of discussions but not that many decisions and actions.

This is something new for me and I have serious difficulties with adjusting to this new situation. I know I have to, at least in the short term, but in the long term, I doubt if I will be able to adjust. How to build your position and reputation if not by solving problems? Doing nothing is something that makes me frustrated and I feel like I have to behave like that too often. Sure, this may change sooner or later, but I'd love to feel the sense by the end of each work day - you know - yeah, it was a good day kind of feeling...

Btw, my non-alcoholic streak ended this week - my mood needed a bit of alcohol to return to normal operation 🤷
