Agreed. It's a good thing that "no victory laps yet" is not the same as "it sucks".
"No victory laps yet" means "the work isn't done yet." You only get what you demand and are willing to fight for.
Not even remotely how your comment comes across.
Also, I'm going to disagree. Every win deserves its associated celebration of success. Saying it isn't successful - and this is what I'm referring to with your comment not coming across how you intend - helps nothing.
It doesn't mean its "over" to have a win. Its never going to be "over". There will always be new issues to tackle, rights to address, support that needs to be put in place, etc.
But glossing over what has been accomplished as just "not good enough because of one issue" isn't going to help or motivate. Its the celebration of the successes that provide the drive for more.
Your comment comes across as "Massachusetts may as well be Nebraska."
