Sometimes you feel like you've been at a place too long. I feel that way today. I know I have it good so I'm not going to go anywhere, at least for two more school years after this one. But, when you've been at a place long enough you see more and more corruption and unethical behavior. Preferential treatment for certain people etc. This happens everywhere. But often, when you're new to a place you don't see it at first. When you've been at a place a long time, serve on committees, been around the block, have seen the same sketchiness happen over and over for a long time...it can beat you down.
And today I feel beaten down. Administration making appallingly incompetent decisions. Being asked to do their jobs for them (pressuring us to name names of co-workers who aren't doing their job). Allowing some to get away with stuff simply because they go to the right church or know the right people. Promoting people only because of who they know.
Happens everywhere and has happened since the dawn of civilization. I actually have a good situation. But sometimes when you see this stuff...it can bring you down.
