March went out like a lion as did a 22 year career. The institution got rid of me and my TEAM. To pack up my office under police supervision and be escorted out is not the way to end things. I never got to say good-bye to our members and many of the staff. Moving in a new direction with new personnel, I can understand. However, there is a way to let the existing staff leave with dignity, but this institution chose to kick us to the curb like trash.
Those who orchestrated this have no idea how much we all put into this place...how hard we worked...and yes, how many hours we worked. Our administrative team rarely worked a MERE 40 hours. Was I flexible with their schedules? Yes. Were they, in turn, willing to adjust their schedules to meet the needs of our customers? Yes. I call this a Win-win. It's called give and take...TEAMWORK!
A person placed in a position of leadership in an organization that cannot or will not fully empower them to do their job will be rendered ineffective. If they want to get rid of you, they can distort things, create lies, and hold you to a set of new, never implemented rules.
This experience has cemented my resolve to become an entepreneur. To run my own business in a manner consistent with my personal values. If I pour my heart and soul into a business, it will be my own.
