I need to stand up for my people. When they need help, I need to be there for them. It’s just who I am and who I want to be. That’s integrity. I can’t have it any other way. Really.
As a side note, integrity on a personal level I need to get better at. But I will get better there. Wip.
So yesterday one of my guys, Omar, was asked to be moved to another team. He was shocked and very angry about it. He said he doesn’t want to do it. He feels like he would be starting over. He only started 3 months ago and would be initially starting from scratch. He said he is happy on A1 and wants to stay. He did say that he’s not against a move in the future, but after he’s had a chance to learn how we work, learn how our systems work, etc. In a way, he’s validated my approach, he’s given me hope that that what I’m doing works.
We tried to court a guy from gs. He wanted more money, way more than what we offered. So I sent him a note yesterday. It did not help. Well, I tried.
