I'm having an ethical issue... And want some input

[Buoy]

so you left company one because the promotion would have placed you and your wife in a conflict of interest situation btween personal and professional.... and now you work in another conflict of interest position in a company that is direct competition to the first company...

and your wondering why you feel confused??

No, we're not direct competition by any means.
That would be kind of like Lambo dealer, and used car dealer comparison.
But, we both provide the same basic service, in this example "transportation"

Doubt you will truely be happy ever working for someone else.You need you name to be on the door.

Never compromise you principles, morals, and ethics. Breaking the law is betterr to do than those three.

Tim, Paul, THANKS!!
I've been doing a lot of hard thinking over the past two days - and both of you have contributed to forming my thoughts and guiding me.
That goofy muppet guy too! (just kidding Rob)
Tim, you're absolutely right, I won't be happy again until I'm running my own show.
Paul, it's pizzing me off that I'm sacrificing those core values that I hold very strongly just because I need a paycheck. It's not a good feeling to be doing this.
I want to be able to go to work, and at the end of the day be proud of what I've done. Under my current employment, I'm actually embarrassed about what I've done.
Not a good feeling, and doesn't lend much to a self-satisfaction type thing.

Now that I understand..I took a major cut in pay when I went from warehouse mgmt to EMS... but I didn't go home beat and depressed everyday. Now everyday I go to work..whether Im busy as hell or its slow, I know I make a difference in someones life. regardless of what I can do for someone medcally, the fact remains that if your seeing me, your not having a good day. Anything I can do that makes that your day a little better is where there rewarding part comes in.

I'd use this as an opportunity to find the job you want. If corp wont allow you to do what you feel you need to do then you need to find something else.

In the meantime you're earning a paycheck which is paying the mortgage, the boat expenses and will also pay for the gas/expenses when traveling to other interviews!

Instead of focusing your energy on how unhappy you are at the job, channel that energy into finding something new!!! Then after you give notice, those last two weeks you work there will be the best two weeks because you'll know you have succeeded!!!
