Tension Is The Teacher Not The Enemy
You got off work late. Your boss made you stay an hour after you were supposed to be off. And you’d promised your kids that you’d be able to pick them up on time so you can take them to their sports game tonight.
But you can’t because you’re already running late. And now you’ve got to sit in traffic for another hour. Your spouse is going to be really upset with you when you get home. Because it’s just another example of you letting them down.
There’s already a laundry list of things you don’t feel like you’re getting right. Not to mention the stress at work. Ongoing issues with your boss. Performance reviews and reports that are due. Will you ever get on the other side of this?
This is a situation that’s fairly common. Home tension coupled with work tension. It leads to issues in a variety of places. Worst of all, it feels like there’s no escape.
So what do you do? How can you get out from under the thumb of your boss and still be able to fulfill your commitments to your family?
