You are NOT a whiny crybaby so stop that right now evil!

*HUGGLES*

I'm sorry they're messing with your baby. It's annoying I'm sure, especially since they've ignored you & your co-workers for so long and now the big boys in L.A. are calling the shots as it were. It's not fair.

LJ is totally for bitching about life, even if you are grateful to have a job. Where is it written the you can not bitch about the job your grateful for? I'm so sick of hearing that. Just because you bitch about it, doesn't mean you aren't grateful for it.

I feel your pain, although on a much lesser scale. We're a big chain of bookstores (50 stores in total) and for a while now they tried to centralize all stocking, processes and whatever, taking a lot of ways of "making it work for *our* respective store" away from us. These days, all we do is (basically) put books in shelves. And yet, we are responsible for everything that goes wrong. *rolls eyes*

And yeah, I tell myself to "let it go" and just enjoy the fact that I have a job, but I'm not quite there yet...

You have every right to feel the way you do. As you said - this is your baby and you put alot of blood, sweat and tears into it (well maybe not blood). It's a natural reaction.

I had a somewhat similiar experience several years ago. It ended up working out okay, and now I am happy with the changes although at the time it was happening I almost left.

Hang in there!!!

Ah yes, the old "Change for the sake of change" model. :P

Many of us have been through it, myself included, and I empathize with what you're going through. As others have said, when you are the creator of something good, and someone else decides to mess with it, it's as if they're saying it wasn't that good after all. It feels personal.

But it's not. In fact, they don't really care about you at all. (Sorry, I know that's not exactly uplifting, but I think you know what I mean).

I'd say, do what you can to influence TPTB to keep the critical pieces of the puzzle, but not at the expense of your job. I think that wartime phrase fits the bill here: Keep Calm and Carry On.

*hugs*

Ahhh... the medical field. My favorite subject! Sometimes I hate working for a big giant conglomerate whose leaders want their private jets over giving our patients the new (or newish) equipment everyone on life-saving O2 should have. And why is it when I call a Jersey sleep lab, their own staff can't tell the difference between a psg and a titration?

Anywho (that was MY rant for the night) I feel very sad for what you're encountering right now. But this is the state of healthcare versus bigwigs. The people are the ones who lose.
