I have been working for Heart 'n Home Hospice for the past year and some odd months. It was a decent job, but my office was full of amazing people! Minda, Windy, Erin, Velana, Brenda, Linda, and the list goes on! I loved my office, but the corporate portion was a little...a little....well it was a little like any corporate office that is family ran and operated. They have grown quickly and seen much success....so, they have made changes, and hired consultants, and read books, and done all sorts of stuff to keep up with their growth...yet, when its all said and done, really whats happened is HnH is 'they are too big for their britches'....I could have, and should have done a few things differently, but when your heart isn't in it, and your head isn't either it makes for a rough go. I was micromanaged in ways you can't even begin to imagine! I am one of those people who thrives with independence. Tell me what my job is and then leave me the hell alone and let me do my job....right? It is funny to me, when they were asking me why I would consider leaving Ashley Manor I told them it was directly related to the micro-managing of the idiot they hired to run the marketing department. I told them how I was a product of my environment and how if my environment was a happy place I could produce like no other. Then what happens? They start micro-managing the outreach department in ways I didn't even know existed, then it was literally a chronic, phlemy cough of negative feedback, and harsh criticism. The homeostasis of my biodome was on a fast race down hill. To top ALL of that off, they wanted me to sign an 'non-compete' contract. A contract stating regardless of how my time at HnH ended I would not be permitted to work in hospice in anyway for 12 months. WHAT! Yeah, thats what I said. So I didn't sign it. Then, when faced with a 'get fired or resign' situation, I resigned. I had wanted to quit for weeks, but loved my office, and needed the job. Ya know? But when it came down to it, I resigned. I have never been in a situation like that in my life. I have never been in a situation when I truly believed I would be fired. I have never worked anywhere they wanted to fire me..........................it was time, and it was the right thing to do! I am relieved to eliminate the stress, and chaos, and constant, consistent pressure and critisism. I am sad, so sad to not have the wonderful people in my office I came to love as a part of my daily life.

God will lead me to what is next, and it will be where I suppose to be, of this I have no doubts! God has always lit my path...
