Doing quality work has resulted me in getting too much work. I am playing a dual role of management and grunt work for other managers. I need to let the grunt work go and have enough faith to learn to rely on the management stuff. Fear of not moving to the next level is holding me back... My first boss told me on my very first day at work that the hardest part of moving up was letting go of doing the actual engineering work...

I knew you would make my brain hurt!!!
I think the fiscally conservative part of me cannot abide waste - and the compassionate part of me cannot abide the myopic treatment of the workforce as a disposable commodity. Especiallly when this myopic vision leads to fiscal waste.
The people pleasing comes into play - when I take on too much and feel like I let someone that is depending on me down...by not accommodating some ridiculous unreasonable schedule.
I drove around for an hour thinking about companies like Southwest Airlines and Trader Joes.
