The Business of Business
Am I doing the right thing?
Am I putting my effort and energy in the right occupation and more importantly the right company?
These are the questions that I am asking myself right now. I should know these answers. I didn't go back to B school and accumulate a shit load of debt to be a Joe grinding out my existence in a job that I am not passionate about. I went back to get the skills to be a leader.
Tomorrow things change. Whether I stay at this job or leave (which is the likely case) I know in my heart I need to stand up for what is right and ethical. I gotta stand up particularly when it comes to me because I really have nothing to lose. Right is right and I am not gonna get walked over any more. I need to be considered for leadership positions because without question I am qualified. I have done more in the energy industry than most people with the same amount of experience and it is unfair to myself to have others considered before me for positions that I want.
Either the leadership of the company recognizes my potential and skills and compensates me for it or it will be their loss. I will have to move on.
Yeah, I am doing the right thing.

We only go around once bud. What's the point of being miserable while doing it?
Well, we THINK we only go around once...
;)
Seriously, though... I have learned over the years that my gut instinct is almost always right when it comes to making decisions, and esp. when knowing what makes you happy.
Take the chance, whatver it is, and do what it takes to make YOU happy... and, no matter what... good luck.
Thank you for your kind thoughts today on my blog.
How scarey but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Good luck to ya Booster!
Remember, bud, you are quality -- it's about time they make use of your talents and pay you appropriately for them.
Boy, don't I feel the same. I'm in the process of doing exactly what you're talking about Booster. Good luck bud.
Like the ARMY says...be all you can be. It's a tough world out there, but you need to be in a place where you feel you can breathe deeply, and people appreciate you for the job you work hard at.
Best of luck!!!
Good luck, Booster. You are doing the right thing. If the folks that you're up against can't recognize your talent then there's plenty of others who will. Keep us posted!
