AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

I am in between jobs, and my previous company is not releasing me. They are making emotional moves about others not being able to handle my work. I feel morally indebted to them for giving me a chance to grow personally in this job. I would really like to switch now, what should I do😣?

The idea of being indebted to a company is not quite the right way to go about making decisions. Companies take in an individual not because they want to do a favor but because they trust the person’s ability to bring profits and help the company grow. That this is true is testified by the fact that do not want to release you because it may mean scaling down their profits by their calculation.  They value you because you enhance their value. 

Now based on this fact you can make one of the two choices. Either you could ask them for upgrading your work and its value if that is the reason for your switch. Or else you should change if you find better opportunities for further growth.  Work spaces are not meant for emotional engagement but for professional growth.  Work should be done with love but that does not mean letting your emotions and worse still other’s emotions interfere with your decision to transit if such is your need. One should always choose in a state of inner freedom and not let your choices be manipulated by emotions.  

There is a place proper to feelings as with close friends and intimate relationships but a company and the employee is not the place for it.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I often struggle to express myself clearly in words. Even when I have a deep and clear understanding of something within me, I find it difficult to convey it accurately to others. When I try to speak, the words that come out are often confusing or don’t match what I truly mean🄲.

Quite a few people have this difficulty especially when one wants to convey things that are deep. I would suggest three things that will help you. 1. Read books that express profound truths with clarity and power, especially poetry. 2. Listen to eloquent and meaningful speakers.

I’m a very introverted person 😳and rarely share my feelings with others. Only one or two people truly know me well. I don’t even share anything with my parents, I often hold back because I fear the someone might copy my thoughts, ideas, or actions without giving me any credit. I also hesitate to invite people into my home, partly because I worry they might judge it, and partly because I’m afraid they’ll take ideas from my dĆ©cor. I see my ideas as unique, and the thought of someone imitating them makes me uneasy. Please help me understand this better—are these two separate issues, or are they connected?

Nothing wrong with being an introvert but the thought that people may take your ideas should not be entertained. Ideas do not belong to anyone and there is a joy in sharing them especially if one believes that they…
