As
engineering responsibilities and my title increased, yet old requirements lingered on, I tried to
clarify two things up the chain of command.
A)
One of the main reasons I’ve stayed at my company over twenty-five years is an
almost negligible amount of travel away from my family was required, which is also a
main requirement to extend this time past a quarter century.
B) I felt I was spending an excessive amount of
time working on and explaining a specific one of our review systems, and hoped to get
others more well versed in its use, allowing me to focus on other avenues.
The
response to this was, naturally, to assign me to the corporate wide team to
come up with overall guidance on that review system, requiring a trip for all of us to
have a several day face to face meeting at our New Hampshire campus.
