[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 157803, member: 59"] Steely, I also don't think there is a perfect job. I worked for a company that was considered one of the best for fourteen years. I had to take the good with the bad, and there was plenty of bad. But on the whole it was a great place to work. My easy child is very much like you, she is searching for the perfect job, the one that has integrity and honesty and cares about their employees. She just finished an internship with a company that supposedly had all that but she found out that the managers are just human like everyone else. They had their faults and failings and they just didn't match up to her very high expectations. She changed her major in college because of it and decided she no longer wants to work in the business world. And this was not a bad company, it's just that her expectations of people are very high and it's hard for anyone to meet them. She is having difficulty in social relationships because she expects too much out of people. Perhaps it is because I am getting older now and the picture is clearer, but I think if we live our lives in a manner that we can be proud of then we just have to make allowances for those who don't have the same expectations or values that we do. I've tried to tell my easy child that she has to find peace within herself and a way to work in a world that may not be perfect and perhaps not expect so much out of everyone because she will continue to be disappointed. I'm sorry you are having such a rough time at work. Give it time to work out, whatever you do hold your head up when it's all over. If it is clear that you cannot continue working there, start looking for another job. Nancy [/QUOTE]
