From our work in the field, autonomy and participative decision making come up as a core positive aspect of work, as this marketing executive reflects.
I have 15 years of experience as a marketing specialist. I’ve had to deal with big clients and multi-million dollar ad campaigns. My expertise was recognized by my former boss. Since the new one arrived, I’m less and less involved in decision making and I have to check my decisions with my boss. I have the impression of being poorly used and that he sees me as a threat. For me, my autonomy is essential and I also know I’ve got the skills needed for our department’s goals. If things don’t get better, I’m going to ask for a transfer!
