Samantha Danielle Hodges MondayOct 23 at 1:40pm Manage Discussion Entry Hello Everyone, When making a tough professional decision, it may be necessary to acquire information, consult colleagues or mentors, and weigh each option's potential outcomes and consequences. I struggled to decide whether to take a promotion that involved moving to a new city or staying in my existing position. This decision required uprooting my life, leaving behind my professional and personal relationships, and considering the implications on my career. I considered accepting the promotion and moving, which would increase my responsibilities, compensation, and job advancement opportunities. However, declining the promotion would maintain my work-life balance, stability, and familiarity in my current location. Guidelines, rules, and values aid decision-making. Some examples of these are ethical conduct, company policies, the law, and personal beliefs. To make sure the choice is ethical, legal, and in line with personal and company objectives, it's important to make sure it fits with these guidelines, rules, and values. I used various steps to make this decision. I investigated the new city's job market and cost of living. I also asked coworkers who had moved about the pros and cons. My values included career advancement, work-life balance, and long-term goals so I considered the pros and cons of accepting the promotion and moving or staying in my current position. I envisioned the possible outcomes of each alternative, and I thought about the potential risks and rewards that were involved with each. After much thought, I denied the promotion and did not move to the new city. It offered job progression and coincided with my long-term goals, but I also considered the risks and challenges of moving. I just wasn't ready to uproot my life and go so far away from my family, who serve as my support system. They recently moved to the same city I am in, so now we are all together again. In retrospect, I can see that the path I took in reaching my decision was the best one to take, and if I were to be put in a similar circumstance again, I would do the same thing. â€œKnowing your personal core values and their order of priority is helpful in making difficult decisionsâ€ (Jeffrey).

So I am actually going through a difficult situation right now as we speak. Back story, I have been at my place of employment for 6 years. While being here, I have completed my bachelorâ€™s degree, my first masterâ€™s degree and currently pursuing another masterâ€™s degree. The issue is sometimes I feel like the Human Resource department (made up of me and my supervisor) is not taken serious or looked at as a valuable asset to the organization. I know what most are thinking, itâ€™s Human Resources! There have been times where we find things out in passing or not at all and we are only involved when they need help cleaning something up or passing the message along to others. When speaking with my supervisor, her thoughts are that she is too close to retirement time to up and leave and start new somewhere else. She has always supported me leaving when the time comes, which is reassuring. I really have no complaints outside of wanting to feel like a valuable employee/department from the people that I work majority of the day with. Things that make my decision much harder are the fact that I have an amazing supervisor. People donâ€™t realize how important that is until you are in a situation where you have to work with a supervisor that you do not mesh well with and it is like walking on eggshells every time you are around them. I take every opportunity to let her know that I appreciate her and the things that she has taught me along the way. I am sure that I can go to any other company and make much more than I am making now but there is no amount of money to me worth being miserable for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week. I love that the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Texas make it an obligation to reach out to the children who are forgotten. These children who are in these situations do not ask for it and the fact that my organization makes it a point for these children to feel loved and included, makes my worst days worth it when we see the work that we are doing. I also do not want to feel like a quitter when things get hard. I understand that there are going to be days that are harder than most. I am professional enough to handle those times when they happen. I am also a team player and I love that our employees are able to get together and help each other out when it counts during these events that we have during the year. A lot of organizations cannot do so. I would hate to leave and not get the pros that I have now at my next place of employment. Because this is still a current situation, I would say that I would approach the situation the same exact way and not rush into anything. People have learned that the grass is not always greener on the other side and find out too late and regret the change. I do not want to be that person therefore I am not in any rush to make a rash decision. Â Sometimes the change is necessary but other times, learning to take the good with the bad is also important.
