3 years ago my daughter, our first child, was 2 months old. I was so miserable at work, her birth was just another thing I needed to worry about. Should have been one of my happiest moments. I felt used and more importantly, I was comprosing my values and beliefs by staying in an unhealthy environment working for complete morons. I was feeding her a bottle at 3 am and said to her that someday I have to look her in the eye and explain to her that I sold out and why. I didnt have the courage to do what I thought was right. I wondered how I could look her in the eye if I did not have the confidence in myself? My position was a VP in a very large investment company, a dream job for some. The next day, I went to my management and gave them an ultimatum, make these changes, or else. Two weeks later they told me to screw. Here I was with a newborn and unemployed, mortgage, cars,etc.. I busted my butt to find a new job despite a bad economy. It took me 4 months Now, I have a great job, better pay, better people and I am happier. You have to be true to yourself. Some places are not good places to work, some people are not good to work for.
