I couldn't help but giggle when I saw this come across my social media. 🙃 😂 Yes, every work environment has its challenges, and "fast-paced, unpredictable, high-energy environment" is a bit subjective, but having come from working in both corporate environments AND start-ups, I can't help but note that there are HUGE differences in what each might describe as a "fast-paced, unpredictable, high-energy environment". For instance, corporate might interpret this as: - Ability to stay focused and present in meetings, back-to-back, all day, every day - Ability to BOOK IT through the halls to make it to your next meeting that starts exactly 10 seconds after the last one ended (aka. "fast-paced!") - Sort through and respond to a large number of emails on the daily which requires a good amount of energy (and patience) to do so - Pivoting quickly when one 18-month long project is replaced for another 18-month project While start-ups might interpret this as: - One day you're a developer, the next day you're all of a sudden leading the CRM channel (ClearScore & Tassie Milne - I am absolutely pulling this one from your reality!) - Everyone is dancing and drinking beers because a sale totaling a whopping $500 was made! - Unpredictable truly means next month, or even next week, you may not have a job Anyways, I am absolutely not shaming either environment - I love and respect them both. I thrived in the corporate world and now I thrive and love the start-up world. Simply put: it is Friday, and I can't help but smile and enjoy the small gifts social media occasionally sends my way, like this image. #OfficeHumour #Fridays #Corporate #Startups #WorkEnvironments
