soon to be unemployeed

Namaste all,

as the title says, i'm about to lose my current employment.

i've been here for 7 and a half years and there is some sadness that it is ending this way.

you see... i have a medical condition which, on occassion, manifests to such a degree that i cannot go to the office. for the past 7 years, it hasn't been an issue. this year, however, it has become one.

at this point in time, the work environment has become hostile to me and my particular medical condition by which i mean to say that i am seemingly being singled out for special harrassment. the work place rules are being selectively applied to me and my situation.

due to my finiancial comittments, i've been loath to say much as i am not keen to have no income and, to that end, i've let this situation drag on for entirely too long.

today is the day that i am done.

i am concerned, of course, that i will be able to put food on the table and a roof over the heads of my family. to that end, i would ask any and all of my online friends to hold me in thier positive thoughts, prayers and meditations.

as the song says... every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.

metta,

~v

Harsh... . You and your family will be in my prayers. I have other friends who have struggled with chronic medical conditions and employment; it has not been an easy road. I hope you find a new and better door opening soon.

Genuinely sorry to hear about that, Diamond - it's always hard to leave and move forward.

Re: soon to be unemployeed

Namaste Vajradhara,

I sincerely hope you'll find soon, as Lunamoth said, another door to be opened to a better health and another job.

As I understand, you've been under treatment for several years. What did your doctor tell you ? There are no other treatments available ?

Re: soon to be unemployeed

You're in my thoughts, meditations, and prayers, Vaj. I had a chronic medical condition for five years and I know how hard it can become to juggle that and a job. You have my empathy and all the positive energy I can muster.

Re: soon to be unemployeed

You're the first friend I made here, Vaj. I'm lifting you up in love (that's the most profound positive energy that I know of).

So much positive energy from all of us is sent your way by now - an internal strengthening and a money bag should have dropped from the sky by now...

Re: soon to be unemployeed

Namaste, Dear Vaj,

I am a little slow catching up on things right now--you know why. Just now saw this and realized it was you!

With all my heart, I lift you up to Love. I am sad that you are having to go through something like this. So much in the business world is just not right.

Hey, you're a great writer with lots of insight. There are so many good writers here in CR--maybe a company could be formed? (I know, I am a dreamer, but not a hopeless one!)

I gotta be out of here again for a while, but while I am trying to wrap things up and tie up some loose ends, I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Metta,
InPeace,
InLove
