Reality Check

This past June I started a new job with Selecthealth. I had worked for a company called P5 for 4 years, and after nine months of constant struggle within the company, and daily fear of losing my job, it was time to go. Changing jobs was perhaps the best thing I could have done for myself career wise. I was going no-where in a small company, and I needed a chance to move forward. I needed a fresh and clean start with no preconceived notions.I now have a job, that out of 800+ employees, I feel more valued as an individual then I did at a company with less than 100 employees. My job is secure, and we are truly pampered here. I don't think I could work at a better company right now. Yesterday my mom called me and told me that 10 people were laid off from P5. And, I can safely say that if I had still been there I would have been one of them. I sit here on my lunch today at work and am so unbelievably grateful for the choice that I made to move on. It was super hard to leave the life I had been accustomed to for the last 4 years. P5 was my first real job, and I did a lot of growing up there. It was not all bad, but it was bad in the end. Some of those people who were laid off yesterday were my friends, one of them was my closest confidant while working there. I feel really sad for her, and for my friends. I wish them all the best!
