No one wants to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. Especially in the work environment. Yet that is exactly where I find myself today. On one side, I have my years of corporate leadership experience, my management experience, and understanding of the real world. On the other side I have my present work life as an entry level staffer within a unified group that has an agenda.
So what do I do? Do I alienate myself against my peer group by making an unpopular decision and stand off to the side as they move forward? Or do I remain united with them, potentially thwarting my upward mobility.
Well obviously, I'm eventually going to choose to alienate myself and do what I feel is right. Which makes it funny that I even pretend I have an option here. Except that of course I have options. I just don't like them.
The truth is, life isn't fair. The work environment, no matter where you go, isn't going to be fair either. Which is why I have to stick with what I believe to be right. Even if it sucks. And isn't popular.
I guess I just needed to write this here to show myself a little moral support.
