Don’t you just hate the problems, pressures and pains of your workplace? Why can’t you just go to work, get your job done and go home? Consider this: REVELATION—Any day your company ceases to have problems, pressures and pains, is the same day your job becomes non-existent. They will not need you anymore.

This is not to suggest that trouble is inherently good; rather, it is that if you are part of a company that is striving for excellence, problems, pressures and pains are an absolute pre-requisite. Excellence demands press, push and sometimes punishment; it requires self-exertion, self-discipline and often, self-denial. In the absence of these things, you find, instead of excellence, mediocrity or ruin.

Rejoice in your work. Be honored for the role you play in the mission of your company. Be thankful that because of the company’s problems, you get to take home bread and milk. Don’t like this company? Try another one. What will you find there?

QUESTION:

Sure, jobs are supposed to be hard. However, what about when the behavior of your boss creates unnecessary drama and trauma? When do you decide to quit or transfer, versus just sticking it out?
