Job opportunity versus enjoying what you do. (Page 4/4) Raydar JUN 22, 12:21 PM quote Originally posted by Jake_Dragon: One of the down sides of being a manager is dealing with people. It's not all negative but when it hits, it can hit hard. ... Wow, man. That's rough. I'm terribly sorry, for all involved. Just sad. cliffw JUN 23, 02:13 AM quote Originally posted by Jake_Dragon: One of the down sides of being a manager is dealing with people. It's not all negative but when it hits, it can hit hard. I can feel the sadness. For the family, his friends, his co-workers, and you. My condolences to all. I think we all know a "Doug". I know a few, co-workers and friends. Family also. My Grandson Trey. Trey because he was named after his father, who was named after his grandfather. Jake_Dragon JUN 23, 02:07 PM Life is fragile. The reward for getting old, watching those around you pass on. RIP I have often used PFF as a place to put things out there, its good therapy. Regardless on our differences the Fiero community has always been supportive. Thank you for being here. 1987RedFiero JUN 25, 04:18 AM I look at it this way. They are going to get what they want out of you, or do one of two things. Make your work life a living hell or send you packing when they can. I'd take the leap. It adds to youe skills set if the day comes that you are let go. I fought moving up, as I'm not much of a yes man. They've actively made my work life hell . If I wasn't so close to retirement I'd be job hunting. It isn't that I'd hate the new role, it is more of having to bite my togue and smile and agree with stupid b/s crap. While saying yes to all the stupid ideas knowing full well in a few months the data will show it was the wrong move. They don't respect those that say, I told ya so. They also don't want to hear that their idea is crap. If I took the role, I'd have to be someone I'm not. So, I past on it 6 times. They have made the day to day hell, but I've learned to not let it get to me and just do the needed projects and leave the crap at the door when I leave for the day. That was the hardest part at first. Leaving the drama, the daily hell at work and not taking it home with me. Good luck with whatever you decide. Brush up that resume if you decline it ,in case they make life hell.
