This Isn't JOE

Recently I talked to Joe. 🗣️

Well, Joe isn’t his real name – and for this story, I’ll call him Joe. 👤

Joe had been working at his current company for over 27 years. 🏢📆

Over that time, he’d been promoted to a senior position – however, not a super super senior position.

Not as senior as he thought he could be. 📈🤔

Lately, it really didn’t seem like he had a seat at the table. 🪑❌

There had been layoffs, and even after 27+ years, Joe feels like he might be next. 😟🔄

Increasingly, Joe feels a little panicked. 😰

My heart goes to Joe. ❤️

Because I hear stories like this a lot. 📖💬

Usually, one of two things happen:

👉 The person initiates the change. They handle the situation actively. 💪⚡

OR

👉 The person waits for the change to happen. They handle the situation passively. 😓⏳

The former always turns out better than the latter. ✅

What will happen for Joe? We’ll see. 👀

After 27+ years, making a change might feel risky. 🎢

Even though not making a change is probably riskier. ⚠️🎯
