    It’s maddening that you can’t simply convey that to them.

    If these were the kind of people interested in the conveyance of practical, realistic, useful and truthful information, you wouldn’t be leaving. The beauty in elegantly crafted work? Entirely lost on that sort. Yet every excellent worker I have ever known has not only seen but thrived on creating just that. When work, especially creative work of any sort, is The Very Best, it stands out, and good people know and love obviously exceptional work.

    The loss is theirs, but as you imply, it’s much, much more than just losing one employee.

    Glad you’ve made the decision to go, and honestly the whole clashing arrangement sounds like oil and water – integrity vs greed – so chances are excellent that at some point they would make the decision for you if you were not making it yourself now.

    Watch your back on the way out, and best wishes for a better workplace.

      Thank you for the kind words.

      It’s scary how you are taking words right from my mind.

      There is a lot of things originating from such situations to share and talk about, but I guess this is not necessarily a space to do that. What matters is it is done, and it is best to move on.

      Thank you again, and I hope you’ve got a good place of your own.

        It’s scary how you are taking words right from my mind.

        Sorry about that. Just in case it would help you to hear these words, I sent them your way. It’s a simple case of been there done that, and I wish I had allowed myself to see the situation as clearly then as I did when I replied to you. But for me, all that was a long time ago, and all is well these days. Thank you for the kind wishes.

          Oh no no. I’m sorry! I’m not a native speaker and my phrasing must have been wrong. What I meant was that what you wrote was very accurate. In fact it was exactly what I was thinking and what my experience has been as well. Thank you for your insight, I appreciate it! I’m sorry you’ve been through a similar situation, and I hope you’ve overcame it.
