Larger mission

Saturday, April 25, 2009

Those of us who are still employed need to look at the situation in another way, outside of the stress and workload. We need to realize that there is a job we're all doing, no matter what industry we're in. We are keeping or attempting to keep our business alive. That's a pretty important job.

We're not only working harder, we are making sacrifices, pitching our own ideas, and learning new skills so we can help out other teams who are also understaffed and overworked. The lines between the idea people and the worker-bees are blurring because we have less and less time for meetings set up to explain the stuff we want to accomplish. We don't have time to talk about it - we need to learn fast and do it. Otherwise, our company, whether new or established, will fail. It's more than just us losing out, it's valuable piece of the community that fails as well.

You just have to make your husband/wife/partner/children/friends accept it while not dissing them. If we can pull this off, we can help the economy? Fingers crossed.
