Funny thing is that lots of people take a paternalistic view of their employer. They view them like surrogate parents. However, when you do this, in order to leave the job, you must find some injustice to rail against because who breaks up with their parents, right?
Stop doing this. It’s critical to understand that in the mortgage and real estate business, your company, the management and the managers as individuals are not your parents. You shouldn’t empower them as such and when you don’t, you can conduct yourself like an adult and expect them to do the same.
Because I “left well” because I was not “breaking up bad” with my employer I was able to shoot an email to my former manager, get myself on the list for the speaker and not only that, commiserate with some former colleagues afterwards while seeing a very powerful presentation.
Everyone wins when you play nice in the sandbox.
