To Thine Own Self Be True

How time flies....

It has been months since my last entry. And what a 3 months it has been.

I've finally given up hope that things at the work front will ever change. It's hard to work in a company that doesn't quite recognise efforts put behind the scenes. Everything is about visibility...it's a culture where it's ok to take short cuts as long as you have the glossy results to show. Nevermind if the actions you take & decisions you make will pose long-lasting negative effects to others. It surprises me to the point of appallment that only a mere handful are truly interested in leaving behind a legacy that they can be truly proud of.

I was raised to believe that hard work & dedication (laced with smart marketing skills) build character. I slogged thru my early corporate life to build a strong foundation & good work practices & make sure my staff learn the same values. But I'm working at a place that doesn't seem to care.

Headhunters are already knocking at my door. At the nick of time. Boy am I thankful for the friendships I've built thru my working years.

A fellow manager once told me if I wanted to stay on, I'll just have to accept the culture like he did. I will not compromise good practices for anything. A girl has to be true to herself.
