I recently had an epiphany of sorts.
Someone on this page shared that many ex ATT employees went to a company called WTT. When I went to their company website I saw a smaller company that thrived by saying it valued its employees. The quote by the CEO was encapsulated within background photos of happy employees. When you look closer at the faces in the photos, you can see genuine happiness.
Here’s the quote.
Our employees are the foundation of our company's success and how we run our business. That's why we are invested in them and their well-being, and why we strive to create a culture that empowers, supports and celebrates all people."
Jim Kavanaugh, CEO and Co-Founder
I said to myself, I remember working for a place like that. Then it hit me. Why am I still here?
I liken it to the frog in the pot. You don’t know you’re cooked until one day you wake up. It happens slowly so it’s hard to see and feel the change. Little by little they’ve been turning up the heat on the stove and I can now feel myself starting to cook.
The question now is, when will I be done? The thought is already placed in my mind.
I can do better. We can all do better.
