As of now, it looks like I'll have to interview to keep my current job in the new world company. At first, I was a little irked. I mean, don't they know how cool I am? But when I tried to figure out why exactly I was irked, I realized that my dissatisfaction with having to justify my value to the organization really doesn't make sense. Afterall, I've only been with this company for 3 months. Add to that the programs I was hired to create and manage all centered around a system that won't survive this acquisition. And while I have shown some value (like reducing a $78 million dollar problem into a $30 million dollar one in just 7 weeks) and some folks may be impressed with what I have accomplished in such a short time, I'm still the new kid on the block.
I get it. I'm the newbie. I'm the one without the history or knowledge of how this company does business. But I am also a rockstar. I've never had a bad performance review. I've never had an unsuccessful project. I am a fast learner. I'd like to think that after a cup of coffee in the morning, I'm one of the smartest folks on the team. And I get things done.
I've never been called a bitch to my face. But I'm sure I've worked with folks who thought I was too tough. In fact, I know I have. Hey, it doesn't bother me. I can be a bitch. I'll proudly wear that label. Because like Senator Clinton, like the token female executive, like the most career-focused women, bitches get things done.
TINA FEY: Maybe what bothers me the most is that people say that Hillary is a bitch. Let me say something about that: Yeah, she is. So am I and so is this one. [Points to Amy Poehler]
AMY POEHLER: Yeah, deal with it.
TINA FEY: You know what, bitches get stuff done. That's why Catholic schools use nuns as teachers and not priests. Those nuns are mean old clams and they sleep on cots and they're allowed to hit you. And at the end of the school year you hated those bitches but you knew the capital of Vermont. So, I'm saying it's not too late Texas and Ohio, get on board. BITCH IS THE NEW BLACK!
