Thanks for your replies. My dilemma is not connected to me getting the job; the job is mine if I want it.
The responsibility for the decision does not rest with me but with the Board of Directors. They will decide. If they make a decision based on what is best for the community then we are good to go. If they bow to the City's bullying tactics and turn their backs on the station house to keep the City happy then we are not good to go.
I am just so hugely disappointed. I really thought I was getting ready to work with some warriors for justice. Instead I find myself on the verge of linking up with people who may have no moral back bone and no fight in them after all.
I know life is rarely ideal and I hear you and others Blackpup about making do and doing your best with what life throws at you. Somehow that isn't enough for me. It would require me to be complacent about injustice. If it requires me to shrug off, accept or tolerate in silence the wrong actions of others then I am not going to do well in that kind of toxic environment.
Returning to the work force after almost a decade is tough enough. Facing this dilemma right out of the gate does not make it any easier.
You are right hankster there is a lot of politics at play in the work I do. There is a lot of politics in our everyday lives; more and more every day. That doesn't make it okay. It doesn't give me a free pass to wave off injustice or turn a blind eye to bullying and intimidation no matter how distant from me.
Anyways.... I am just still venting I guess. I know what I will do if I have to. It is a no brainer for me. There should be no dilemma but times are hard right now so it is tempting to cross the line. Somehow I will find another way to keep afloat if it comes to that. Like a friend once said to me….’I was looking for a job before I got this one. I will do it again if I have to.’ Time will tell how this unfolds.
