I got less sleep, my stress levels went up, I became acutely aware of how bad the boss needs a smack in the mouth, the big boss knows my name and expects me to know things and I hate the organisation more than ever.
However, people now dread me going on holiday because I’m the manager who knows things and gives a shit. I actually have no small amount of job security and agency in how our facility is run and I get to tell the boss off from time to time for his dumb shit because calling him out on it is part of my job.
