Job and Life Changes

There are so many ways your life can take a turn, a change in direction. Which sends you down an entirely different path than you were going on. What do you do with your job when this happens?

It could be a management or ownership change that impacts the culture where the environment goes from being “the work you enjoy” to “the work that pays the bills.” In other cases it might be a business change which impacts reimbursements.
