I started exploring other employment options, since I did not desire to work with people I considered to be out of integrity. I told all my friend and family I had begun to hate going to work, and I set a date to give notice. When the day arrived, I still did not have all the details ironed out for my new position, so I decided I would stay on a while longer, in the job that I hated, with people I did not respect, until I had something else confirmed.
