A world of difference between last post and this.

I feel as if I am the stupidest person alive.

I realized with agonizing clarity today that the brick wall I thought I had behind me at work was a facade.

All my life, I have been told to never trust anyone in business, to watch my own back. Yet, I feel as if that is fundamentally wrong and tried to walk another path. Looking out for number one did not seem to fit with the good of the company. But truly no one else is going to do it for me. And people who are busy looking out for themselves are the ones who are ultimately catered to, enabled, and rewarded.

What a fool I have been to trust someone who said otherwise...

If this is the case, what purpose is left?
