Steve?s a pretty regular guy ? wife, 4 kids in their blended family, 12+ years of engineering experience, a degree, mortgage, car payments, some debt? and feeling depressed because he waited to look till the end. Last time he transitioned was 5 years ago for more money and he liked some of the people and it was simple?this time he?s heard some in his professional association have been looking for almost a year...and they weren?t lightweights. No wonder he?s sweating.
Steve?s wife can?t figure out why he?s so moody and angry?she doesn?t understand that Steve has feelings of rejection from a company he had been loyal to for 5 years. He had poured heart and soul intto his projects. Even though he didn?t always agree with his manager?s direction, on a project he shepherded, he had been recognized for achievement. Gosh, only 2 years in and already a rising ?star?.
