I recently had a one on one chat with my manager's manager, and she opened the call with the most important question.
Are you happy?
The straightforward simplicity of it caught me off guard, it was naked and sincere.
I would say I'm significantly more satisfied in the company I'm working for, and the people I'm working with, given that you just took the time to ask me that. The fact that you expanded upon it to include life both inside and outside of work touched me immeasurably.
The full impact of our chat didn't really hit me until just now, but it resonated deeply and reminded me something about my Granny. No matter what you were involved in, doing, or going through in your life, she used to ask that same question... then sagely nod her head and say "well then, that's all that matters"
Are there things I would like to change in my life personal, professional or otherwise? Sure, but overall, I am happy.
Thank you for asking.
