you do realize there is a chance the ceo may not even really care what you have to offer. there may be reasons the company is failing that are beyond your scope. they may offer you a meeting just because.

I would suggest slowing down. but you either are or are not, regardless of what anyone says. therapist, gut, posted replies, etc.

I am amazed you have access to the ceo directly, usually most workers don't...nice to have that, just be aware that you may not get the answers you are looking for.

I served as both a field level employee and upper management in the agency I worked for so I had access to both levels of operation. it was easy for lower level employees to not understand the actions of upper level decisions from the higher mgt's view point. it's just easy to see things from the level you operate on. it took some time to explain corporate decisions to others when this would occur.,..what might be good for employees, etc might not seem good for the overall company at first., just saying. perhaps that might be in play here.

also are you suggesting in your power point that you should be placed in a leadership role? didn't you mention in a recent post you drink during lunch breaks & drive back to work? that isn't the stock of a great or good supervisor. I would think that is you are trying to vie you way into a management position or even tryin g to impress a ceo you need to personally on top of your game.

yea no one can smell vodka but it impacts your work. same with the smoking. people aren't fools. you can suggest the best program going but if you aren't a stellar employee (one with issues..drinking during the workday, violating a smoke free campus perhaps) then why should they take any input from you? regardless of how great it might be?

take the time to get yourself together. the cleaner you are the better your input will be recognized. walk. get a better outlook. having a poor attitude won't help a company with sagging business. they may be bad supervisors but for now they are yours. trust the the therapist.
