We earn our living by working for people who get rich by preying on people. We work for people who are getting rich by preying on us. We work for vultures who exploit their customers and squeeze their employees. We work for people who undermine their own country by offshoring American jobs. Despicable.
Zero ethics. A shameless culture of greed among the Senior leaders. They “fix” one legal abuse issue only to break new laws in pursuit of higher profits than they deserve through honest work.
So I’ve been asking myself how do I continue to work here? It’s not easy as I watch the sc--ws being tightened in all ways. My answer, for now, is that I have direct control over my own behavior and can “do the right thing” in my little corner of the business. In fact, I take pleasure in it. (I’m watching others, including some managers doing the same - nodding yes to the higher ups and then working behind the scenes to take care within their sphere of influence.) I have several licenses and protect my own reputation at all costs. I can still build a personal brand of integrity, dependability and a customer-focused mindset and that personal brand will follow me to my next move. Don’t let this place drag you down. You can stand up for good yourself even when you work for an immoral company.
