Giving Myself a Standing O

I am changing my expectations.

I have worked for years assuming that the people for whom I worked would reciprocate the loyalty that they made clear that they expected of me. The don't and they won't. That's not on them...it's on me. It's business.

I'm adjusting my view and my life. My view is that loyalty is for friends and contemporaries. It doesn't move up or down the chain unless it's earned. I'm putting myself in a position, by starting Standing O, my new company, to surround myself and work with people with whom I want to work. Choose your path, choose your surroundings, choose your team.
