[ Expectation ]

One of the most under-represented stresses in the workplace is that of mismatched expectations.  Whether it’s around time commitment or availability, or related to documentation or following a process, the impact of mismatched expectations is major.

It’s not discussed enough, our expectations of each other.  Know yours, and keep in mind that other person might have different expectations. 

When there’s a belief that something is going to happen, or someone will behave a certain way, and that’s not how it turns out, then there can only be disappointment.

So if you’re disappointed all the time, maybe you have inflated expectations.
