Yes but, you'll never get promoted, you'll never get to work in certain roles, your HR tag changed from a high potential to a low potential employee - Initial conditions set by Sacha's employer when she asked to go remote to move closer to family.
I took that as a challenge. I'll show you that I can get promoted to director level. I'll show you, I can do those roles that you said had to be at headquarters, but I didn't know how. That's where the experimentation started. I going to make this work to show them these barriers that could be overcome. And it did work - Sacha Connor
I spent eight years leading large distributed teams from Philly. I was able to overcome those barriers. I did get them to promote me to director. I did get to work on those businesses, they said that I couldn't. And I did get them to de-link potential from location. - Sacha Connor
Such a great story.
