Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Sorry for the silence those last times. Health wasn't good. Not helped by some kind of moral harassment at work... quite surrealist because my R&D program work so great, projects are finished, we got several publication in professional magazine here, plus high level partnership with very important company, and so on... but my direct manager told me that they didn't want someone that got a cerebral accident, and now it is very often "happy time" (the same manager that sent me a mail 2 days after my coma titled URGENT for work...)... world of work in big company that just merged, looks like the movie swimming with sharks. So i am looking to change of work in good conditions.

By the way it was my 30 recently, and thanks to family and friends, it was a great time. You are not offered a second life not to fully enjoy it, so i'll try to find my own way.

I missed you my friends, and it is good to come back on the dojo board.

...and you know you are always welcome here, Fanfan.

Congratulations to your 30th anniversary here on planet Earth; I wish you all the best for the second quarter of you life....

Sorry to here about your a**hole "superior" manager; it seems that global warming does not mean that the atmosphere at work is getting any warmer

My wife had a stroke when being nine years old and she still suffers from minor muscle spasms; I don't know exactly how employers in France choose their employees, but it seems that a handicap like this does not disqualify you for work, at least here in Germany.

I wish you the best of luck for your change of work; don't let "them" bring you down. You deserve better than that!

Welcome back Fanfan, t'is good to see you once more

Thanks my friends.

Well, that is the world of work (and i do believe that people that are truly unhappy at home try to get some satisfaction to harm at work) . It depends where you are. But in France sociologists are writing a lot about management those last years, because there are a lot of suicides, infarct, neuronal accident due to over stress at work among executive people. I have been very affected by the situation, and probably because i still have some health problem that can act on emotions, but now, things are clearer. Moreover it is not against me in particular, there were 20% of resignation the 3 last year in my division...
I do things in order people in my team still have work after my departure, and i'll try to find a good place (to find work is not hard, but to find a good work is harder). I try to negotiate the financing of a MBA, perahps it would help me to change of work, there will have work in sustainable development in the years to come.

The good thing is : even if they are few, there are always places like here that don't change, and got so good karma, that it is a pleasure and a treasure.

Joyeux anniversaire!

It is good to see you here again. You were missed, my friend.

Sorry to hear about your turmoils at work. I hope they get smoothed out for the best, whether it be a change of job, a transfer, or a new manager.

And a late Happy birthday from me as well!

And best wishes for a less stressful and harrassment free work enviroment.

I am also still wishing for your continued Recuperation and hope that you do not let anybody at work interfer with that.
