What does one do...

... when one of your bosses favours the opinions of the new blood in the company and not the old guards?

When he shoots the said old guards' opinions down in the presence of the new recruits?

What does one do when there's a big difference in the two most key decision makers of the company?

Does one stay on and try to make a difference somehow, someway?

Or does one give up, pack up and leave for a place where you know your contributions will be accepted?

What should one do?

*Never give up without a fight!
One should prove his/her worth before deciding if he/she should pack up and leave. It makes work more challenging...

If after all the effort and you still get the same crap, well... sometimes the pasture is greener over the other side.

*Yeah, X-Rich, I think it's a shame to leave a place with friends I'm very close to without a fight.

But then again, this is not the first time I thought about leaving...

*What does your heart tell you?
I kid myself about quitting all the time; but deep inside I know I belong. What about you?

*Ouch. This is what we deal with in radio almost everywhere. If you want to stay, prove your worth. If you don't mind leaving, get your resume up-to-date and shop in secrecy.

Lord, please give CC the wisdom she needs and the confidence in you to make the right decisions no matter what happens, and a full measure of Your peace.
Amen.

*Good question, Vagus. At the moment, my heart says stay. Just doesn't feel right to give up and pack up now.

Thanks for your prayers, Mark. Really need wisdom to make the right decisions at the right time.

I echo Vagus.. It all boils down to what your heart says.. And where your heart is .. that's where your treasure lies.

Staying is a good option to proove your mettle (metal?), and not to leave to indicate disgust for the disregard of your opinion, but for yourself and your colleagues.

I wouldn't want to leave prematurely without due consideration, and to say in retrospect "I wish I had..."?. I guess I would know the time right time to leave is when my heart is no longer in it anymore.

EFG, I know you do your best at the workplace and already I believe that you have made an impact within the company.

"You will know where you belong.." thanks Vagus.. very deep..

*Thanks, Paul. Yeah, just need to hang on until there's no reason left to remain.
