Facing Reality

Someone I know works in a difficult environment. She is surrounded by people who aren’t her co-workers, they’re her competitors. The company fosters the competition between employees, and while some of them thrive in that environment, my friend doesn’t.

The money is good. The benefits are solid. And she’s miserable.

Instead of being proactive and looking for an environment more suited to her strengths, she keeps beating her head against the wall and then complaining about the wall. She rails at how unsupportive her boss is, how cut-throat her co-workers are and how she’s not appreciated.

And she is creating all of that angst for herself by not facing reality.

Her boss got to where she is in that company by being competitive, and by fostering the competitive nature in her team members. Her co-workers are cut-throat because that’s what’s expected of them. And she’s not appreciated because she’s not a good fit.

Maybe you can relate? Next time you’re in a spot like that, face reality. Take care of yourself and your needs – don’t expect everybody else to change for you.
