In Reply to: Reasons for negativity. - Teenie

Don't beat yourself up. I am an old grandma who has been doing this work for years and I did not see this coming. You were naive, I was naive, we all were naive. I should never have sat here for three months without work, believing them when they said they did not know what was happening. Guess I am too trusting. Good luck.

Being realistic is not the same thing as being negative. I do not think you are negative. I think you are just seeing the picture as it really is. Hang in there!

Although the low work was certainly problematic, it was not the major factor in my decision to leave. The outsourcing to India was what did it for me.
