Four times in my career, I have been forced to seek employment elsewhere because vain MEN who lacked the vision to adapt. Who felt that those with ideas and years of real experience generated from beneath them were expendable insubordinates and therefore too costly to keep onboard their sinking ship.

I am proud to say that I watched each of those 4 ships sink within 3 years of my being “furloughed.” I didn’t have all the answers, but the collective perspectives of all those who “lost their jobs” would certainly have helped steer the ship toward a better outcome.
There were other times when my morals and values did not allow me to wait and I resigned in protest. In every case, the company failed within a year. Those were very hard times for me personally, but I was able to secure a better situation within a few months BECAUSE I left. Had I stayed, the hardship would have lasted much longer.
