You Can only Control Your Actions
A friend of mine has been put into cold storage by his manager. All his projects has been taken away. His tasks are now routine tasks with no challenge. At times, he finds himself bored doom scrolling at his desk. He felt trap and consider resigning without another job available.
He cannot control how the company is treating him. He can only control his actions. There are reasons for being put into cold storage. He has to dig deep to understand his manager's actions. Reflect back exactly how it lead to this conclusion?
While being bored and not challenged in the office is an undeniable fact. He should make it a daily mission to improve by learning something new. A skill or a behavioural change that gives him the maximum benefits for his efforts.
Eventually if he gets fired, he would have new skill sets to fall back on. He cannot change he current reality, but he can change his future by taking action.
