Reorgs - no energy to try to keep up anymore
Listening to the same failed opportunities from the newest leader (insanity)
Duplicate efforts from different teams - inefficient
Political decisions - waste of money
Empire building
Pretending you agree on some crazy idea - give it a chance they say…

And the best one: Not working together as a team across teams to get things done…. Even when they say they are working as a team. No they are not. They are just saying that.

So frustrating.

Houston Campus: sorting my recyclables, crowded elevators, no parking spots left if I came in late due to a morning doctors appointment, the guilt trip from my sup whenever I wanted to take vacation, conference room squatters who refuse to leave, co-workers shouting into their headsets because they are talking to someone in Canada, co-workers constantly eating at their desks and leaving stinky trash in a bag by their desk, that stupid report of which groups made the most paper printouts…

I could go on for days.
