So many points, so well put.
I'm out of the corporate world myself and unusual as a female who has no (NO) tolerance for "process". I want solutions, options and moving on! (Hmmm...and I wonder why therapy is so hard for me...)
I run things around here like a corp. with very enlightened personnel policies because I figure we don't pay people what they could make in the corp world, we have to be extra nice to them. Like tons of time off, flexible schedules, staff retreats to Lake Tahoe, etc. (I write millions of grants so that we don't have to touch the program money for staff retreats, BTW.)
You are right about people who think you are nuts to work in this world. My whole family thinks my agency is "cute" -- doing important good work, but still. I could make so much more money in their world. And, they think my MA is wasted...*sigh*. Families!
We have a problem up here with the salamandors. They are spending so much money trying to decide what to do with them -- I could run my agency for 2 years on the money spent on propaganda. I don't care what they do with it -- it is a lizard for God's sake!!
Of course, my poor Therapist has heard all about this one too!
*smile* Nice to know I'm not alone in the fight!
