grey.
I was warned that moving to a small, new company would have its challenges and I was prepared for those. But the situation I am in is nothing that I could have fathomed. Essentially I feel like everyday I am walking through a fog. Everything from the purpose of this team, to my role on it to the projects that I am given is grey — meaning there is no definition to any of it.
I’ve worked in non-structured, non-process environments before but at least there was a greater purpose and vision that I understood and was able to work against. But this is not the case here. I’m given direction like “illuminate the runways for the creative team” or “provide the location and the address for them”. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! And while I realize this is shooting myself in the foot, I feel like my role is an unnecessary step in the process. So what is the advice that I am given? To be a “creative entrepreneur”, make my job what I want it to be. That is a load of BS if you ask me and is a great response from someone who doesn’t want to be responsible for making a decision or having any accountability.
Point is, not sure how long this will last.
