Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Dear PJ: Thank you so much for writing, especially when you felt so tired! I think what was especially key in your letter was when you wrote about how you did things in a conscientious way and were honest and a " quiet Christian " , and the company demanded that profit be made the bottom line, rather than integrity. I think that is the biggest stress on jobs like these; at least it was for me. I think these types of controlling bosses know that you have a solid value system that you're not willing to compromise, and since they ARE willing, it mirrors back to them what they know already, that they're selling out, more or less. That's why they want us to leave, and put the pressure on until we finally do. It got to a point where I could no longer do my job without accepting their value system, since we merged with administration (the social work department) and since the big guys were in our faces all the time, literally in the same office space, I couldn't " get away " with quietly doing what I wanted to do the way I wanted to, and not compromising my values. The sad thing is, I do miss my job, as there were many aspects of it I really loved. I'm still working on surrounding myself with the positive and realizing that it was my bosses' problem, not mine - it takes time, I guess. Thanks again for writing, and I'm glad you're happier now and more relaxed- Blessing, Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
