Hey, Pensacola!

Maybe some of y'all saw me in the other Gulf Coast Florida subs. Maybe not. Either way, doesn't matter--I've been goofing off with r/Pensacola since well before you named the street sweepers, all the way through last Friday's cigarette meetup. Y'all really have a great sub. So anyway.

I love tots. For no reason other than my own amusement, I am curating a custom Google Map of every Tater Tot along the Emerald Coast. It's called the Tot Map.

It started with just Destin (because I'm from there), then expanded to PCB (because I moved there), then 30A, then someone from 30A commented, "Why not take it all the way through Pensacola?" And you know what, why the hell not.

I'm not selling anything or monetizing this in any way. I could,but that sounds like a lot of work. And I already have a job, I don't want another.

The only requirement is they have to be barrel-shaped tots, none of that "we call them tots but they're actually hashbrowns" stuff. They can be anywhere in or around Pensacola, including Pensacola Beach, Pace, Milton, Navarre, or ^Gulf ^Breeze.

Also let me know if you think I should share the map to Reddit. I'm considering it but I don't want this to be treated as Karma Farming.

Fuck Brian Littrell. Now that that's out of the way:

Maybe some of y'all saw me in the PCB sub. I've grown a lot since then (no I haven't; I'm still asking about tater tots).

I love tots, and for literally no reason, I'm curating a custom Google Map of every restaurant from Destin to Panama City proper that serves tater tots. I'm from here, I am not a property manager, and I'm not marketing anything.

My map has a gap. Currently I only have three restaurants in Walton County that serve tots on my Tot Map (Johnny McTighe's, Ambrosia, and Outcast). Who else serves tots?

The only requirement is they have to be barrel-shaped tots; none of that "we call them tots but they're actually hashbrowns" stuff.

Can you help fill the gap in my map?

The executive leadership has a bunch of ideas for company operations, but no follow-through. The company is structured as a pursuit model: meaning most activities are structured around getting new work, not facilitating the work or employees that already exist.

For example, HR Director owns personnel and benefits changes, Sales Director owns chasing business leads, PMO Director owns project operations, etc. We have a COO, but that role's "project" is overseeing HR, Sales, and the PMO. But there is no one making sure the company--as a whole--has useful tools to do their jobs. One is proposed, the execs get excited and want ownership of it, but then it bottlenecks in leadership, stalls, and dies, and no solution is ever delivered.

I have tried to be the point person in some corporate projects, but I do not have the authority, voice, or clout to push these through to fruition. With my PM brain, the issue appears to me that there is no project owner for internal or corporate projects.

Our company and executive leadership team is small, under 500 people. It keeps overhead lower, but slogs internal/corporate projects because all of the decision-makers are too busy to own things that are "not their job," so no decision is made.

In my opinion, I think there needs to be another director of internal or corporate projects that actually drives, addresses, and solves company-wide problems--problems that every employee faces but that aren't significant enough to warrant execs attention.

What does this company need? What role does yours have that does this? What's wrong with mine?
