Holding up the white flag

[First Light]

That's it, I give up! After 10 months of trying to make my current job work (as a Director of Rehab), I'm throwing in the towel. Had an interview this afternoon for a new job. I feel so blessed to work in one of the only professions that, in this economy, is actually is in high demand. The hospital that I applied at has 3 Occupational Therapy positions, so I should have no trouble getting one. Now I just have to wait for my second interview & find out where they place me. I sure wish I could go in tomorrow and tell those hippies at my current job that I'm not sticking around for any more Bullsh!t. There are some things I just won't do, and when they are using me to screw with people who have worked for their company for 10+ years, I'm out. I don't operate that way.

Thanks for letting me vent. I feel better now.

Best of luck.
Isn't it a huge relief when you finally make that decision to change something in your life?

Good luck! If you had fun with your interview I think that's a positive sign. Looking forward to hearing how it all works out

Thanks everyone! I'm in a no-win situation here, and I know it. That's not so bad, until they start asking you to do things that are against your core values. I don't put up with that for very long, just long enough to find another job and give notice.

it still amazes me that people who've chosen a career of helping others can be so awful as individuals. I'm an SLP and i've also seen my share of bad interpersonal practices. If you do not want to be helpful and kind, find a different path!!

Good Luck, but Imust say I take offense to the reference that hippies are bad people!

I do... I'm very confident about my work, and usually know more about the job than the people employing me.. I'm a strong believer that if you can't be "you" in an interview, you won't be happy in the job, so I come accross in my interview as the happy person that people see me as most days. If they don't like me as me, then I don't want their job.

Good luck in your job. Hope it brings you lots of happiness.
