I really appreciate Cathleen being willing to talk about it, even given the reasonable expectation that some people are going to… be jerks about it, misinterpret things, take things out of context, and engage in ways she won’t like. Or even just fail to engage in ways that would be good for her?
I don’t always see eye-to-eye with Cathleen, but she poured a lot into this project. She is not exaggerating when she conveys that she was responsible for a really giant pile of ops and maintenance tasks at Leverage.
(I’m not sure how Leverage handled her sick days, but I would be surprised if it wasn’t a whole thing. That feels like one way to point to just how large an amount she ended up being personally responsible for. One of the most grounded and productive people there.)
I’m sad to hear that this project hurt her, in the ways it did? (ex: overwork, lack of support, high interpersonal conflict environment)
I’m somewhat glad that she hasn’t completely given up on the idea of well-intentioned ambitious projects, and I’m really happy that it sounds like she has a solid bubble of people now.
This is a lot of information, and there was a cost to writing it up, I’m sure. I can’t really weigh in on whether it was worth what she gave up to do so, but I’m grateful that she shared it.
Seconded.
