I mentioned someone said I’m a liar.
Separately, a while back I learned a fellow civilian employee told senior leaders I am difficult to work with.
Also, there’s a rumor going around alleging the people who come to work on my team get fired.
More broadly, PAOs are sometimes frustrated with my recommendations, or the information I do/don’t share in certain situations. I’ve heard reporters’ frustrations with the details and timing of these releases, too.
Sometimes people say nice stuff about me, too, which I appreciate but don’t linger on.
We (the royal We; MaxDisclosure believers) stay relentlessly focused on mission. We act and communicate directly, to accomplish our mission. This may rub people the wrong way.
If you care, address it directly, at the source. Don’t be a slob, never talk about someone who isn’t present.
If you don’t care, avoid the drama and get back to work on your next steps. People will figure it out … or they won’t.
