Saturday reminder for anyone touched by a reorg, whatever side you landed on:
You're not falling apart.
You're just in the messy middle.
And the messy middle looks different depending on where you're standing.
If You Stayed
You're navigating a new org chart, missing familiar faces, and wondering what's next.
If You Left
You're somewhere between relief and "what now," and both feelings are allowed.
If You're Not Sure
If you're still not sure which outcome was the "lucky" one… same, honestly.
Here's the thing about "lucky." It shifts.
Sometimes staying is the win.
Other times, leaving opens the door you didn't know was stuck.
And life rearranges things in ways you couldn't have planned.
You won't know which was the lucky one for a while. And that's okay.
What Matters Right Now
Transitions make everyone uncomfortable for a while.
Your team is watching how you move through this. Show them it's okay to be uncertain.
So if this week felt heavy, let it.
Then put it down for the weekend.
You don't have to have it all figured out by Monday.
You just have to show up.
The momentum comes back.
It always does.
Give yourself some grace today.
You're doing better than you think.
What's one thing you're letting go of this weekend so you can reset?
