Every now and then something just stands out like a loud shriek waking us from sleep. This phrase "I've seen the Elephant" and the complimentary story is one of those things for me. One day soon, I will use this phrase when I serve my obligatory two weeks notice. I can imagine the puzzled looks it will draw.
From my FB newsfeed this morning, this came up: http://tinyurl.com/nok7tve
After a 26 year career with the compny and watching things change from Customer oriented to Sales oriented, feeling my age *and* being compared to the Gen X/Y younglings who manage me now... Well, it fits! Without realizing it I have been walking head on into my own meeting with "the Elephant".
Now, I really do have something to smile about... Meeting the Elephant is a good thing.
LOL the damn elephant feels like it is on my back :)
