Explain a 'Growth Opportunity' Email About Your Role to Yourself Before You Panic-Reply
An email has arrived describing a change to your role in relentlessly positive language, and your gut reaction was dread rather than excitement, because that specific tone usually means something. This strips the framing back to what is actually being said, separates confirmed changes from implied ones, and gives you the real questions to ask before you reply to anyone.
