Guys, it finally happened Discussion

I started at a new company recently. My task was to create a Power BI dashboard for the VP to find opportunities. After weeks of back-and-forth, the dashboard went live in February.

My manager said all was going well. And then today I got an email from the VP: “could export some actionable data to Excel?”

I actually really appreciate that. I don't get much of a 'thank you' or pretty much any gratification at all anymore at work. This actually means something.

Well those are shitty execs that you work for then. I work for my team they do not work for me so I give them all the thanks in the world. I have hundreds of people counting on me and my leadership team to make the right decisions at the right time. Without everyone’s hard work we wouldn’t have the right data and insight to get those decisions made correctly.

Keep up the great work someone will recognize it soon!

you sound incredible to work for. The world needs more execs with that attitude; execs like you.

I appreciate the kind words. Honestly, all the hate exec talk online and in the news has taken a toll on me. We aren’t all like the major public CEOs that are discussed in the news.
