I gave my two weeks notice at my full time job. I had some "temporary" options lined up to fill the gaps in our income, one of which has completely fallen through thanks to the new healthcare law.
For a few moments I wondered if I had made the right decision or if I should turn back and cut my losses (by backing out of the second part time position I'd taken).
The bottom line is that the company culture where I work DOES not fit my personal values and I can do better. People aren't treated well and this theme reverberates throughout my days.
Today I learned of a situation where an "older" male employee continually brushed up against female employees (minors), followed them to their cars, and invited them to his home.
Our "safe to say" telephone line (an "anonymous" tip line that employees can use to report abuse or crime) is a fraud, with phone transcripts/summaries forwarded by email to a department head.
We squabble over "lending" employees to other departments to help for a few hours, because of tight labor budgets.
These things are, I believe, bad for people and bad for business.
I hope, if nothing else, to have learned something more about "cause and effect" and decision-making driven by fear.
So I'm taking a huge leap of faith. What would you do if you weren't afraid?
