Picture this: you wake up at 6:30 a.m., get yourself ready, drop off the kids at school, and arrive at work just in time for the 9 o'clock delivery from the local bakery down the street.
You walk over to your office, while juggling a bagel, cup of coffee, and your stack of mail that the receptionist handed to you when you first walked into the building. As you sit at your desk, with the 9-foot window behind you, you check your mail, and think to yourself, life is good.
Around 5:15 p.m., you storm out of your office, upset by the fact that your boss kept you late to talk about the proposal that is due this week, and head home. You wonder how bad the traffic will be and complain to yourself about the 17-mile commute you make on a daily basis. You think about how lucky this company is to have you, and how easily it would be for you to find something more worthy of your time.
Fast forward 15 years, 2 promotions, and a total increase in salary of 20%; you find yourself walking away from the 9-foot window with a large box filled with your personal belongings. I few picture frames, your business card holder, your favorite pens, and a mug that says "best dad in the world". All you can think to yourself is, how could they just let me go that quickly! After all of the years I invested into their success. What am I going to do now?
