For 11 years I have been a consultant at a finance company focused on the construction industry. In this position, I would advise clients on difficult financial transactions. There was a lot of work, but it was manageable. It kept me busy between working hours.

I was unexpectedly offered a position as the Director of Operations, which I took because it almost doubled my salary. The problem is I have no idea what I do. I pretty much have nothing to do throughout the day. I sit in management meetings now, but I feel like they don’t even talk about work much. The last one was about planning where to do a golf outing.

I head a couple of departments and have call-outs reported to me and help fill schedules. I would also deal with any internal issues. The departments all get along - so nothing to do there. There is one employee on a behavior plan, but it’s for a pretty bad reason, so it’s above my head.

I also do reviews, but they’re not until after the first quarter.…
