The culture of the corporation is a tough nut to crack. And, after I figured out that it stank most of the times, I chose to jet off to another venue where I knew I could deal with people that I could trust; people who would treat me well and fairly and not act like paranoid fanatics always watching their backs. They make you feel uncomfortable because they are insecure and they perceive everything and everyone as a threat. An environment such as this will surely degenerate in time and take all the foolish idiots who remain down with it.
If we are in a threatening environment, how can we produce anything of real value? We should ask ourselves if our boss is our real friend and teacher and our colleagues are our protectors. If the answer is a resounding “yes,” then we are in the right place for our spiritual and career development. If not, I suggest we slap our resume on the billions of pages of the Internet. Do not worry that our company may find out and we will be financially insecure for the moment. As Gerry Spence says, “when you are on the precipice of insecurity that is when you are really most secure.”
Remember: If we love our work, the money will always come. If we do not love our work, we should always be on the lookout for a better place and, when we find it, JET. Alternatively, we should talk to our best friends and find out what we can both do together. When there is trust, then only then can we create something of true, long-lasting value.
