I am reaching my boiling point in work, I am working for some
companies almost for FREE..
I am re-structuring my dedication to those companies whom
appreciate my dedication and my efforts.
They seem to forget what we do for them such as driving
many miles NOT PAID FOR.. Risking our lives driving
wear and tear on our cars.
This parkway looks beautiful however, it's full of deer
and just the other day as I was turning on a bend in this road
a deer was standing in the middle of the 2 lanes.
The speed limit is 55 however, most go over 65 and to stop short for a deer
it would be a horrible mess for all .. I had to slow down and blow my horn
finally she jumped back to the side..
As I drove further down this highway another deer in the middle of the road and
many cars behind me again .. I blew the horn and again that one leaped off the road.
Just think if I didn't see it and hit it .. the deer would probably fly over my car
and hit the one behind me and then cause a multi car pile up..
Not all of this highway is as wide as this photo, some parts are very tight for 2 lanes
and a lot of construction towards the more populated areas.
I drove 175 miles for one company in one day and for not even $50.00 just
to get the stores done and the company happy.
The gas alone cost me $21.00 and all I get from them is THANKS..
As I said I am re-thinking my work sturcture and some companies are going to lose.
There are many pluses to my work and I do thank God for giving me the protection,
and good judgement in driving and in decisions and most of all the many days
of seeing such beautiful scenery as he has created for all to enjoy.
Thanks for reading and any advice is welcomed
:heart:

Fati -Is it possible that in your love and need to be loved that you forget that sometimes that the greast and most powerful loving word is – No!Real Love never takes advantage of nor allows itself to be taken adventage of.You deserve better.
Well, you should stop doing jobs for them – driving almost 200 miles for free “says” to me that they will do this outrange again, and again – since maybe they think that you are stupid enough to work for them free.I think you should look for other contacts.
i agree with the above two comments.for sure we teach people how to treat us-GOOD AND BAD. people are out for themselves mostly and if you allow them, they’ll take whatever you give them, this is especially true in business. for years i didn’t want to believe that people were as selfish as they can sometimes be, but, Fati, they very often ARE.it’s just the way it is. my mother is a selfless, compassionate lady and raised me with these ideas, they’ve gotten me into terrible trouble in the real world, sadly. mostly I’ve been taken advantage of. YOU ARE IN THE DRIVERS SEAT girlfriend, of your life, or else you won’t survive.No. is a complete sentence.we’ll talk more later. (YAY):)
Hi all,Thank you for your wonderful advice all 3 of you.I stayed with this company since I have been with them for almost 2.5 years and the work is monthly so I can depend on the money so to say.Will, I don’t mix my personal feelings into my business mind,I don’t need the companies to love me … just pay me and give me the respect I deserve and I feel I keep trying to show them and they resist compensating me for my efforts.I have some companies whom say to me, “Can;t you clone yourself?” this tells me they do appreciate me. I have called one house I have been cleaning for over a year and told her I will not be back due to her dog hair and the lack of a vacuum with a powerhead, she was sad but understood, I am and do say NO many times.. I know when I had enough and I also give them time to do the right thing which in some cases they do and most times they don’t.Yes, Stomyr you are right I do believe they think I am desparate for the work, which I am not I have to turn down work due to no time to do it all .. So this company will have a huge surprise coming in July :DA dear friend said to me one time about selling herself short and when she said that it really stuck in my mind so now I am not selling myself short. I can’t be everything to all the companies and not get compensated in return.I have proven this in Egypt too with a school I was teaching in, I explained to them they only get one chance with me and if they fail …. they lose.. They lost !Thank you again for your virtural hugsFati
Your great talents are worth more.Give and take is a key but it must be fair.Your time, effort and results are valuable.And…..thanks for the black background…..I can see.:)
Hi, Fati. These are difficult situations, and it is up to you what to decide. You kvow yourself best of all. With love, Ramute.P.s.I wish you courage. And I’ll pray for you.:)
Hi Dave,You are right and I am going to take the steps good for meand the black background is wonderful on the eyes :DHi Ramute,Thank you for your support and wise words, I will do whats best for me… July is a new month and new begingings are coming in oneof my companies which means more work and gratitude .Thanks againFati
