Whiskey Tango Delta

If the universe is trying to tell me something, I am sooo confused!

The number-one thing on my mind these days is my job situation. I am really at a loss so I'm constantly turning it over in my mind, trying to figure out the best course of action.

Yesterday in ethics class, the concept of loyalty came up, as in to whom do you owe your loyalty, conflicting loyalties, etc. The discussion landed on 'loyalty to an employer' and specifically, what loyalty do you owe to your employer if something better comes along, even if you're not particularly unhappy. Say if you get offered more money elsewhere or you have ambitions your current employer can't meet.

The class generally held that, 'hey, you owe greater loyalty to yourself.' Plus, in today's corporate world, your employer doesn't really have many obligations to you as an employee. Why would you be loyal to someone who isn't (as) loyal to you? Today's employers kind of take it for granted that you'll leave for greener pastures if/when the time comes so, go for it.

Surprisingly, the prof seemed a little taken aback -- what about the training they gave you, what if they hired you without any experience, etc. -- at the class (mostly kids younger than me) attitude.

Yesterday, I was like, 'hmm, this is a sign.'

But now today, I was reviewing an article for work that cautioned against 'job-hopping' if you are trying to move up/get more money. The
recommendation there was, ask for what you want (good advice), job-hopping shouldn't be your first move.

So, no, I guess *this* is a sign.

Do you see now why I can't make a bloody decision? The universe
is not helping...
