if I were a more principled person, I'd probably have quit over it.
There's a middle ground: Fight to change it. I've had sufficient personal success in a large corporation (50,000+ employees) to convince me to stick around and keep pushing. But then again, I am in a position to head elsewhere should progress stall. Having that degree of security has been important in being able to speak dispassionately to the issues with our previous policy.
- m0nastic 16y agoI'm envious that you were able to effect change in a company that large (we're some measure larger or smaller than that); and I wish I could say I had the optimism to continue giving it a go. edit: vague-ified company size per DannoHung's suggestion (not particularly worried, but those could be famous last words).
- DannoHung 16y agoYou should edit your post if you think people are looking over your shoulder. There are very few companies that are that large.
- eru 16y agoYour edit doesn't really make it very vague, still.
- m0nastic 16y agoreally? I'd think that "some measure larger or smaller" could apply to companies from several thousand employees to a million.
- eru 16y agoYes, but together with the surrounding comments and the note saying something about "enhanced vagueness", it's still clear that it is probably bigger. (Unless he also changed the number.)
- m0nastic 16y agoI suppose that's true, but I can't really think of a way to respond to his comment without mentioning that "large" is a relative term. The logical thing would have been to not reply, I guess; but I thought it was worth responding to.
