Where Have I Been?
6 years ago
General
Around.
But in all seriousness, I had recently left a job that was overly demanding for very little payoff. After being yelled at and handled in an unprofessional manner, I ended up quitting.
Before you freak out
I already had realized that I was more than likely not going to stay at the job, the Cons outweighed the Pros:
Pros:
*Great co-workers
*Flexible hours
*Great customers
Cons:
*Ostracized
*Unable to move up to management
*Favoritism
*Unprofessional GM
*Extortion
*Being called in early
*Having to stay late
*Having to come in on my days off
Now for a few of these, it made the environment extremely toxic and unhealthy for my mental health. Due to this, I had two breakdowns, and they ended up giving me a JIJ (Job in Jeopardy) due to me "hurting business", then denied mental illnesses and instead favored more towards me "throwing a fit" because I haven't gotten promoted yet, and that I need a doctor's note in order to have mental breakdowns and have it be okay.
Moving on...
I had recently started working for an Energy Consulting firm, and though it demands ten times more than my previous job, the capacity to grow within the company is far more fair. You will move up automatically after meeting certain requirements. These requirements are only met with you as yourself doing certain things. I'm going to use fancy terms.
You need the x amount of the following to move up within the company:
-LOA's
-LOE's
-Closes
-KwH
That's it. For higher arcs of management, you're required a little more, these include things like running a marathon or skydiving (I'm not joking)
This company essentially wants you to become successful; you're paid for exactly the work you put in, and you are given the tools to help you become successful. The day is yours and you make something of it.
That being said, it's demanding in all aspects: emotionally, physically, mentally.
They're very strict on who stays, because if you don't show you want to really become successful, then you're wasting your team's time. That being said, they're also understanding. The team you are given is close-knit and even if you're out doing your own thing, it reflects upon the others as a team effort.
I've devoted time into learning to hold myself, talk, and think in ways that spark encouragement, bravery and positivity. Though these changes are extraordinarily good for me, it is exhausting in all aspects. This makes it more rewarding.
Without negative events, positive consequences cannot exist.
Without positive events, negative consequences cannot exist.
The path of success is pathed with failure, but those who persist and overcome will look upon these failures with positivity.
And in my own words...
Temporary solutions do not bring permanent happiness
With that being said, I've been extremely busy, but rest assure I'm still here and finding time to still work on my projects, commissions and trades.
