Meg started her new tax accounting job in Naperville yesterday. It was a lot different that she was used to as she had a manager that she would report to directly and a principal that would check in on her daily. They would answer any questions that she had, provide training for items that she hadn't worked on in her previous job and would also check the client hours that she worked weekly. Everyone was friendly, they took her to lunch and made sure that she had received her holiday party invitation for later in the month.
Meg's previous job hadn't been as helpful to her. She was overwhelmed, had no one to answer her questions and was criticized when she made a mistake. It wasn't the experience that Cal had had, but he worked in a completely different division of the company. Meg left in December feeling overworked and unappreciated. She had also started to doubt her accounting skills. Two days on the new job had already restored her confidence and she was thankful for the chance to learn, grown and earn some money.
I was happy to hear that all went well. Experience had taught me that working in a miserable environment led to depression and anxiety. No amount of money was ever worth that. I was also glad that she felt better about her accounting skills. I knew that she was a much better accountant that she was given credit for previously. She just needed support and guidance. Thankfully, she will get both now.
