During/After merging period, I faced several challenges, including:
Disrupted Work Environment Post-Merger: The acquisition resulted in rapid changes in leadership and team dynamics, which affected communication, project updates, and decision-making processes.
Internal Politics and Power Dynamics: In a small team setting, some individuals gained authority that was sometimes exercised in ways that hindered collaboration and constructive feedback.
Professional Boundaries and Privacy Concerns: Work discussions often took place on informal platforms, and privacy was not always respected.
Visa-Related Job Constraints: Being on an visa limited my employment flexibility, and this was occasionally used against me in professional interactions.
Limited Recognition Despite Contributions: Although I actively supported projects and introduced ideas to improve processes, my input was often overlooked or dismissed.
Despite these difficulties, I value the learning experiences and the relationships I built with certain leaders and customers who recognized my efforts and sought to retain my contributions.
