I have spoken to two people in the past week who were unhappy enough with their current employer to choose to quit their job. One acted to save their sanity, the other acted to get out of a really bad situation. I admire them both, as I admire anyone willing to act on the courage of their convictions. Both people knew that in this economy, their decision was a risky one. Yet both acted with a self confidence that assures them they will get through this and enough awareness of their personal values to know that for them not taking action was their least preferred option. Both understand that they want their work to be important to them. They want to put forth their best efforts on work that has meaning for them. A lot of people would look at them and say they are crazy. I think they are heroes. Heroes that will soon be looking back on that day when they made a stand for themselves and wishing they had done it years ago.
