I have been with my partner for over 8 years now. I often make sacrifices that others might deem unnecessary. For example today I accompanied him to Denver on a business trip. I understand that he would be busy during the day but I thought we would be able to spend some time together in the evenings or nights. Today he met one of the senior members of his management team and was asked out for drinks to discuss a possible job offer. The offer is for a lateral position, so he would just be transferring to another state. He has been unhappy in his current role since his current boss plays favorite and makes his work life a living hell.
I believe in making sacrifices such as this one. He is out having drinks with his possible new boss. I am here at the hotel with room service and HBO. I feel a little sad that the trip is going like this. But I believe he should use every opportunity to better himself. That is just the price I pay for loving a career given go getter.

Maybe I should have objected to all this. It turns out the senior manager is gay and was hitting on him. I don't question his fidelity; however, he did say he didn't have a boyfriend when asked. He explained to me that he said that because he did not want him rescind the job offer. But I am thinking if that is how you have to get a job, do you really want it? I am putting my foot down though. My existence should never be excluded.
ReplyDeleteI suppose times are hard and if a little flirting can guarantee career advancement. Although ethically questionable, when faced with the odds what kind of choices will we be willing to make? Maybe I have been working in Corporate America too long. I feel as if I am willing to compromise my ethics and I am not remorseful.
