I'm ashamed to admit I did compromise my character in the last job I held. At the time I felt I had no choice but we all have choices. I guess that's why I wasn't upset when they laid me off. During the eleven months I was there I had to work with dishonest, disloyal, unfriendly, and unfair people. People who didn't say hi or smile a welcome unless I made the effort first.
It was difficult lowering my work ethics working for these people. At times I felt forced to act and do something totally unlike me. Nothing illegal. But it bothered me. Especially coming from the strong Disney background that I did.
I made a promise to myself that I won't do that again. The money was nice but it wasn't worth it.
