A different culture
I've worked in education for over 10 years, so I'm accustomed to the nuances, attitudes, issues and cultures of the world of academia. However, now that I'm working in corporate America and I'm having a little difficulty adjusting to the new culture. I'm finding that there is a great divide between the non-profit and for-profit world. It's a different world. In academia, our business was people. In corporate American our business is money and sometimes the two don't mesh. I'm all about second chances and new beginnings, corporate American is about, "if it don't work, we fire you and move on to the next best thing." I need to learn to adjust to this new culture and it's very uncomfortable. I wish I can fast forward to 3 years from now so that I get over the culture shock.
