Pros
1. The people you work with, at both Sparck and BJSS
2. Some of the clients and projects you may be deployed on
3. Your squad
4. Socials with colleagues
Cons
Don't regret my time, just the treatment and abrupt end:
1. Making up frameworks and passing ourselves off as experts to secure a client? Don't do that. It becomes a millstone around the project team's neck, especially with client stakeholders like K, who favour process over progress to maintain control over a fiefdom
2. The process for reporting incidents on project is woefully inadequate. It might be called Spot, but the 'Sparcklet Letter' is more fitting, in the way it maligns people, just like Hawthorne's book maligned Hester Prynne, Accusers can snitch without evidence or showing any effort to address it with the person they're grassing on. --->
To the smalleague who reported me:
Way to 'look out for each other' like the culture manifesto states. The client asked Content to stay on project long after you rolled off. Your inability to appreciate value didn't diminish me, but the report did. Ever watch the movie '300'? You're Ephialtes, but hopefully your spine grows out in time so you can to stand upright and face colleagues eye-to-eye instead of inserting sharp objects in their backs. May you live forever.
To any new starter in a senior role: Be careful about accepting a lead position of any kind on a project, especially in sudden circumstances. There's at least one snake in the grass.
