Getting a New Boss: Stoicess’ Poem.

The company you work for is growing and going through some changes lately;
kicking your boss to the curb is one of those things that seems to happen innately.

Now, there are rumors that leadership is looking for a tyrant – a real bully – to get profitability back on track;
others have overheard leadership wants someone that’s a team player who can work hand-in-hand with employees and be a member of their pack.

Either way, you’ll work directly for this new hire, and your anxiety level is now sky high;
should you fold and seek a new job or wait this one out – the situation makes you frantic as you give a huge sigh.

That fear of the unknown giving sleepless nights and constantly being on guard throughout the day;
it’s mentally and physically draining because what once was a secure position over which you had control, has now been brought into play.

The truth of the matter is that you’ve gone too long without being tested;
likened unto a soldier who stopped preparing for future battles and when finally facing an opponent, the soldier is bested.

To keep such one-off situations from catching you off-guard;
you must constantly train your mind each day by imagining negative experiences, so you will never be abruptly jarred.

And with God’s help as you implement this mental training process;
you decide to stay at the job and hold your ground while confidently knowing “if or when” it’s time to leave, due to the new boss acting obnoxious.
