Gender has nothing to do with it, and unfortunately it appears to be generally true. The other adage I've heard a lot is, "They took a perfectly good engineer and made a terrible manager out of him/her."<br /><br />I don't think I mentioned in my comments last week... when I left the Rocket Factory, and ceased being a "Rocket Scientist" I got backlash from people, that I had no idea had any investment in what I was doing. For some reason a whole lot of people were upset that I was no longer a "Rocket Scientist." When they should have been concerned about why I was "unhappy."<br /><br />The fact is, when(if) you cease doing what you do, some people will be disappointed, upset or even angry. You have to be strong in who you are and why you are making the choices you are making... Really, it's between you and your Co-Pilot... and maybe Sammy. Everyone else, while perhaps important, they are ancillary.<br /><br />Lastly, it sounds like Al Pacino's character was pretty smart... or at least the writer was. :-)Kathryn Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990925295124938262noreply@blogger.com
