What do you wish you could do more every day?
Hello Chaos Coordinators! As you may know, I recently changed departments and support 2 new leaders. Both teams create intranet apps that impact all Amazonians.
Being new, I expected a return to more tactical work while I learn to work with these l leaders and teams. As an experienced EA and career admin, I’m impatient to dive into strategic work.
I remind myself to be patient and focus on the basics of scheduling, ordering catering, etc. Demonstrating the basics earns trust with my new coworkers. Taking on more strategic work will come in time.
It doesn’t matter how much experience you have. Each time you change jobs, you have to prove yourself to a whole new group of people.
I was at a turning point: after 4 years, I could stay comfortable with my leaders and coast for a while (as much as one can coast at Amazon). Or, I could take a chance on unknown leaders, learn something new and keep my skills sharp. With an opportunity to live and work in a new country?
Yes, please!
