Your Title Doesn’t Define You

Imagine this scenario: You’re a young gun, hired by Hot, Trendy, Innovative Company, Inc., a big international company with a powerful reputation. People who work for this company are revered and respected in the space. You join with your youthful idealism and begin working your way up the corporate ladder. A few years later, you stumble across information that the company engaged in some improper financial accounting. Now you’re pondering what your proper course of action should be: Report the bad behavior and risk career reprisals, or forget you saw this and leave the decision for someone else. Do you think your course of action would be influenced if you had a Hot, Trendy, Innovative Company, Inc. logo on your forearm?

Work with Love or Quit

All work is an opportunity to learn new skills, evolve as a person, and contribute to something bigger than you. This is true if you are running a charitable foundation or working the drive-thru window at a fast food restaurant. I come from the Kahlil Gibran school of thought on work. Work with love or quit and beg for donations from people who do.
