Walking Into A Headache

I got up this morning (a little late, shame on me) and walked straight into a headache. A big turmoil in one of the companies I work for as a writer/author/editor. I think one of the most common problem folks can develope is the disillusionment that they are irreplaceable. None of us is. It's okay to decide you want to walk away from something, but wrong if you think you're leaving will destroy a company. I see it all the time and not just online. Having worked in the 'real' (lol) work force for what seems like centuries, although it was only about 20 years, I often saw people quit in a huff over some silly row that was taking place. More often than not they felt that their leaving would cause the company some great distress. Occassionally it would cause upheaval and a bit of a crunch on fellow employees--note: the owners were rarely affected much--only those left to hold up the stray ends until someone else was hired to fill the void.

If you leave a job in a great big fit of rage try to calm down first and decide if it's what you really want to do. You're not hurting anyone else, make sure you're not hurting yourself either.
