It’s maddening that you can’t simply convey that to them.
If these were the kind of people interested in the conveyance of practical, realistic, useful and truthful information, you wouldn’t be leaving. The beauty in elegantly crafted work? Entirely lost on that sort. Yet every excellent worker I have ever known has not only seen but thrived on creating just that. When work, especially creative work of any sort, is The Very Best, it stands out, and good people know and love obviously exceptional work.
The loss is theirs, but as you imply, it’s much, much more than just losing one employee.
Glad you’ve made the decision to go, and honestly the whole clashing arrangement sounds like oil and water – integrity vs greed – so chances are excellent that at some point they would make the decision for you if you were not making it yourself now.
Watch your back on the way out, and best wishes for a better workplace.
It’s scary how you are taking words right from my mind.
Sorry about that. Just in case it would help you to hear these words, I sent them your way. It’s a simple case of been there done that, and I wish I had allowed myself to see the situation as clearly then as I did when I replied to you. But for me, all that was a long time ago, and all is well these days. Thank you for the kind wishes.
It’s very hard and painful to let go of a good place, people and cause, but when the odds of survival are impossible and the situation drives you bitter, it’s time to leave. The sooner you’ll start helping another worthy cause, the better it’s going to be for everyone.
The hardest part is to acknowledge that there is nothing else you can do.
Okay, but how do I get off the planet to go help another one? SpaceX’s ships won’t be up and running to Mars in my lifetime and the longer I’m here with impossible survival odds the more I start to get bitter!
