[QUOTE="Braveheart, post: 186947, member: 5831"] If we don't like where we work we always have the option of finding another job. Though the pay and benefits that we receive make leaving a difficult prospect, it doesn't make it impossible consideration. Happiness is more important than fretting about our circumstances. Too many times I hear your words echoed by those that I work with and this perspective confounds me. Do something about the situation or, for lack of a better phrase, shut up about it. Change the company or change your career, is what I think, but don't whine about the bed you made. We only get one run through this life--make the most of it and enjoy it. It you aren't happy with what you have figure out what you need to do in order to find that happiness. The point is actually that UPS doesn't owe us happiness if we can't find happiness with UPS.[/quote] FROM BRAVE You must be in management.
