After the interview

New Boss: Why didn't you tell me you were related to him?
Me: if I got the job, I wanted it to be because I got the job, and not because of who I am related to.
Interviewer: I can respect that. Welcome aboard, if like to see how high you can climb.

That was the most memerable conversation I had with the former VP and her manager. I won't say any names, but I'll never forget their faces and tones at that time. 

I had been working at a restaurant chain and had become its GM, but I was betrayed! If you'd like to hear aboutthe  betrayal, ask, and I'll post it, it's a long story, but that's not what this post is about. I came to this company with high hopes and growing aspirations. I knew I could make it to a manager, a leader and I was willing to start at the bottom.

This is a small snippet of the next posts. My story of how a person from the bottom saw management and how it all changed. This is a story about leadership as viewed from the "bottom".

Unsure

You ever had that feeling that you did something wrong or could have done something different to make things proceed better than they are our could? That's how I feel right now. My guy is telling me, "you done goofed" and I can't help but feel like I did indeed do something wrong.

I normally have buffers in place so that it isn't as impactful as it is right now, but really there wasn't anything I could have done differently. I can only wait and hope things work out for the best and continue with my march regardless of the outcome.
