We’re preparing an announcement that isn’t public yet. The doc is still in draft and access is supposed to be limited to the core team.

I noticed an unfamiliar name requesting access. When I flagged it, the incoming hire confirmed it was someone close to them personally and they work in comms.

I haven’t granted access and I’m keeping things tight until we go live. But the situation is sitting well with me. This person hasn’t even started yet and they’re already sharing internal documents externally. And knowing that someone in my field now has visibility into what I’m working on, I can’t help wondering whether that creates some longer term awkwardness for my role, or the new joiner second guessing my abilities.

Am I reading too much into this? Has anyone dealt with something similar?
