Undercover Boss
So one of my favorite reality show's is Undercover Boss. I'm not an idiot and I realize a lot of this show is fixed for ratings. As a hardworking guy who has basically remained with the same company for a very long time, just like everyone else, I wonder what would happen if the CEO of my company tried to pull one over on me to find out what is really going on behind the scenes. I like to ask myself "why can't I run into a CEO from Best Buy doing an Undercover Boss?" After 9 years with the company, in 5 different states, uncountable different positions, giving everything I have to represent the company in the best way possible, and working as hard as I can to take care of my daughter, it looks like it may all be coming to an end. As I am about to move back to Colorado, it's looking like there may no longer be a place for me. No longer can they just make room for a guy who has a long list of skill sets and experience. What bums me out about the whole thing is what I think I can bring to the table. I'm not the master at anything, but I feel I could be an asset to keep around. I feel like I have excelled at every task put in front of me. I know I will find something else and give just as much to whoever is willing to give me a chance. Sadly, in today's society, it looks like hard work, experience, and tenure are just not enough to guarantee a position when you have to uproot and go somewhere else. It's nobody's fault. I just hope that not everyone out there who runs into life changes they were not expecting doesn't have to start over in all aspects of their life. Stability is a luxury that I took for granted. Now my goal is to try and not let my kid notice that her dad is more unsure about everything in their life than he has ever been since before she was born. Things will work out. They have too. Right?
