Something akin to this happened to my husband several years ago and very recently, an excellent nurse at my work was essentially bullied into quitting. It might help a little to realize that Mr. New President most likely had someone in rank above him telling him what to do.<br><br>The older I get, the more I believe things happen for a reason.

Just my perspective.... and I would feel the same way without a doubt.<br><br>As far as what happened to you, the same exact thing, almost word for word, happened to my father during my teenage years. He too was enjoying by and large his greatest success work wise only to have new, underhanded management force him out. They felt threatened by his success and confidence in what he was doing. And like you, because of their treachery, our family moved to where I live today, I met my husband and have lived here ever since. I gained tons through my dad's misfortune. <br>And just a side note, the company my dad worked for nearly buckled and hasn't enjoyed the success it had prior to new management coming on board. How has your former company faired? I would guess probably not good.

Honestly, sometimes regrets aren't logical, because it's not always clear whether you made the wrong decision, because you never saw the results of the choice you didn't make, you know? I think it's good that you're so detached and able to understand how this happened, but that's really the best thing you can do with regrets. I'm sorry that you've been so disappointed with your career since then, though. :( Believe me, I can totally understand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-61345786706338749622004-06-08T21:15:00.000-07:002004-06-08T21:15:00.000-07:00I am so sorry you got screwed over like this.

During the time that the crap is occurring it never feels like much of a blessing, but I believe everything happens for a reason. If you stay true to yourself, you'll come out smelling like roses. Heck, would you be doing all that you do had you stayed with that company?

You know, my husband went through a similar experience where he was promoted to a job they thought he would fail at, but he succeeded and because they did not like him personally, they looked for ANYTHING to bring him down. They did not care how hard he worked, how much time he sacrificed away from his family, how much pride he took in doing what he did. They ended up firing him one morning--just told him to go. They gave him severance, but when you put your heart and soul into something and the reward is betrayal and severance--there's no happiness to come from that. On the plus side, it did end up being a good thing for him and for all of us, but it took a while to recover. I wish the same for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
