I would appreciate very much getting a reading to show me how I should proceed with my career in the next 2 months for happiest results.
I am a successful finance manager who gives more to the client (solid project outcomes) and staff (nurturing and coaching) than I give to myself. In the past 3 years, I have vocalized my concerns to the bosses that I needed more help, only to receive false reassurances but no real changes. I have reached my breaking point and have been contemplating leaving the company. The bosses have given me more reassurances that they will hire new help in the new year to support my needs. In the meantime, the current client and other competitors have offered me a job should I decide to leave. I don't like change but have grown weary and leery of my employer's ability to give me real support. I need some advice to help me see more clearly what I should do with my career. It has been a dismal 3 months for me, being lost in this quagmire of indecisions.
Thank you so so much should you choose to help me find my right path.

Hello,

I chose to do a 3 card reading for you using the RWS deck. The cards i pulled for you were -

Strength / 5 of Wands / 4 of Cups

These cards tell me you've got hell of a lot of patience and strength when dealing with people. You can put up with a lot more than most other people would ever even care to think about. You're obviously going through a battling and uncertain time wondering what to do and part of you is being pulled in different directions. For some reason i am feeling you're not overly open to change and opportunity for growth with this new positon and you have reason to feel this way. There is something about this new job offer that you havent quite yet realized or noticed in regards to the grass being greener on the other side. I feel there is another job offer other than the one that has already been offered to you that is the one for you but not the current one that has been offered to you.

I hope this helps and makes sense, if you need anything clarified please let me know.

Hello Lilmisstarot,

Thank you so much for giving me this reading! I believe you have me pegged on the patience and strength. For three years straight, I have worked days, nights, and weekends and gained numerous awards and recognition for my team and company. I am passionate about my work, particularly in developing new talents. Unfortunately, my boss is not familiar with my projects, presumes that any help would do, and gives me staff who have no inclination to learn the type of work on my projects. Frustration has built up to the point where I went through several nervous breakdowns since last Thanksgiving. Several offers, which I did not solicit directly, have come my way. I had decided, and accepted, the current client's offer that would give me stability in hours and practically no staff to manage so that I could focus on problem solving. This offer represents a reduction in pay but with the promise that the next management position opening is mine with a commensurate pay increase. The reasons I opt for this immediation transition rather than wait out for the next available management position are because I want to get out of the current stagnant problem now and because I know two current client managers are ready to retire which means the wait will be short.

I recognize that the grass always looks greener on the other side, and once one gets to the other side one will also get to see the weeds and the brown spots that are not so pleasant. In other words, there will be a different set of problems and challenges. I am open to embracing both the benefits and challenges on the other side.

You had made the comment, "I feel there is another job offer other than the one that has already been offered to you that is the one for you but not the current one that has been offered to you." I would like to interpret this "other job offer" to be the promise for the next management position opening from the new employer. Can you help clarify your statement?

Do you also see any difficulties that my current employer will give me one I give them my resignation? That is one big dread of which I still have nightmares.

Again, I thank you for taking the time to help me through this change process. God bless.

I hope you will allow me to give some of my thoughts, even if I don't use Tarot.

1) You say you are successful, and if this is true, then your stock among your clients raise in value....they have seen you in action...they have offered....you have strong cards on your hand...don't sell to cheap.

2) You have notified your employer about changes you need to have in order to work better....they promise....they don't deliver....you let it go and go....they have started to take it for granted that if they talk you after the mouth, then you will go on doing fine, and they save those cost.

3) You are 41....a nice age...but an age where you have to be on your edge.
To move away from a firm, when you have started to feel "breaking point" then of course it is high time to move, else your "stock" among clients might decrease if your working capacity decrease because of this.

I would maybe start to have talk with those clients you feel you will have best working condition with, I will also, if you feel secure that the client want you, contact your management, tell them that you are starting to seek out other opportunity, since it seems they don't care to follow up their promises.

If they see a great value in you, then they might start to give you better conditions and pay, at least then you will have an indication on how they see you.

I agree, it is never a good feeling to say one will quit, BUT it is your life...it is your abilities....and if it was the other way around, that they had to let you go in order to save some bucks...they would!

Good luck...believe in yourself

Wonderful advice Rhuto!!!
