"Work"ing On It...
I believed if one worked hard and showed loyalty to a company, the company would in-turn show their loyalty back.
What a fool I have been.
This loyalty is no where to be found. If it exists within the working environment, it is hidden from my view. Have you seen it lurking behind closed doors? If you have, send it my way. I wish to discuss a few things with it.
Why is it that we can no longer believe in the place we work for. Is being at one place for a long period of time now the "old ways"? Is is really necessary to move to new employment every few years? Has our world become so competitive that we just do not care any more about longevity?
I care.
It is painful when the caring is not shared. I know in friendship, we feel this trust; this love. This should be felt everywhere we go. Why is it not in the one place we spend hours of time. I mean think about how much time you spend at your office. Now think of the time you spend at home with family.
When a person is on their dying bed, do they ask why they did not work harder? I think not. They probably wonder why they did not Love enough. Why they spent hours at a place where Love was not. I am really looking into this idea. Is where I spend an average of 45 hours a week of work related time support the roughly 67 hours of Life per week? Every hour I work is for one and a half hours of "my" time. That's not looking too positive to me.
I guess for me, in my world, I should step back and see if work is really what I wish to continue with. If the only thing keeping me employed is finance and medical compensation, can I get this elsewhere? Can I tighten the belt and go to a part time situation? I guess only time will tell whether this is what to do or not. I will ask Jesus Christ to guide me in the answer...
