The Worlds Best Acting EL2 Mug
The Worlds Best Acting EL2 Mug
You are running a team, attending the leadership forum, and contributing to the portfolio plan — on a temporary engagement that HR assures you is being reviewed.
This mug is for the acting EL2 who has fully inhabited the role, earned the respect of their peers, and learned to stop mentioning the substantive is still APS6. You have opinions about strategic direction now. You say things like "resourcing constraints" and "risk appetite" without irony.
Perfect for:
- The SES one-on-one where you subtly remind them you exist
- Decisions that technically need to be escalated but realistically don't
- The awkward pause when someone asks how long you've been in the role
11oz, just enough to get through a morning of back-to-back executive commitments.
Dishwasher and microwave safe. Performing at level. Pending confirmation.
It's basically permanent. Probably. Check with HR.
