My wife has been strongly and relentlessly pushing me to leave my current job because the company sucks and has been getting worse on a daily basis for the last ten to fifteen years.I respond by pointing out options and the positives of working there to my beloved – that drives her crazy. I love my job, my coworkers and my manager, but after that everything drops off the cliff. Simply, the company had once been a top-rated place to work, but has since slid into being a third-rate employer, and is trending into becoming a sweatshop. Some argue whether the glass is half full or half empty. At this company, the executives drank the contents, then stole the glass, then blame the employees for the lack of more glasses.There are two things I can do about the situation – one is leave for a better employer, the other is to stay and be positive by realizing that my attitude, enthusiasm and actions are independent of the company’s eroding culture. That is not to say that corporate problems should be ignored – it is to say that you focus on fixing what can be fixed and improving what can be improved. It is saying to be truthful regarding the negatives, but not to dwell on negative stuff that you can’t influence, improve or fix.Choose to be a winner and overcomer, not a whiner and a loser.– Overcoming Dear Overcoming …A point that seems obvious – when you say, “… be truthful regarding the negatives, but not to dwell on negative stuff that you can’t influence, improve or fix,” I have to wonder why you aren’t willing to “think outside the company” when you say that.You can’t influence, improve, or fix your current employer. You can influence, improve, and fix your choice of employer. My question is, why do you want to stay with a company that’s only a decent place to work so long as your manager keeps his/her job and enough independence to shield you from the rest of upper management? Keep this in mind: In a company like that, your manager could be gone tomorrow. Where will that leave you?– BobPowered by ScribeFire. Technology Industry
