The Downside of Character Strenghts
Today at work we had our first anual company direction meeting.
They took us out to lunch at Mac 'N Rays, which is this hall we often work at. If you haven't been there (and I hadn't) it's really nice. It's on Lake St. Clair & it's all ritzy. I felt like someone should be kicking my Nike-wearing self out. They fed us & we socialized.
After eating, we had our meeting. We got a big, inspiring speach on The Future of the Company, and our roles in it. They told us about all the cool oppertunities that were arising for the future. We got praised, and they went on and on about how glad our 2 co-owners were that they feel they FINALLY have the great people they needed in place to really move forward & make the company great.
Which all made me feel really guilty & sad that I told them a couple weeks ago that I plan on leaving this summer. It reminded me of all the reasons I really do like working there.
Damn me and my sense of loyalty!! I get way too committed to places.
ps. This has NOT made me decide to not be teaching this fall. I WILL be. But it has made me a bit sad about it.
