Risk (Blackboard)

Feeling emboldened when I returned, I tried to address what I have viewed as disrupted communication with a manager. I had felt that our relationship had been deteriorating over the last month. The issues revolved around communication, or lack thereof, body language, and reduced interactions that resulted in my feeling less a part of my unit. I don't think I presented my issues with as much dignity as I would have liked, but I got my point across. However, I did not feel particularly "heard" or taken seriously. My risk was in laying it out there, all that I was feeling, what my perceptions of her behavior and communications were, and saying directly that I was unhappy in my job. I'm still here, and communication continues with ups and downs. I do feel better for bringing up my issues, although it may not actually change anything.
