Every job, every industry has some ramifications—good and
bad. Everything we do at work can have great benefit or cause
harm. We have to weigh it all up and check how we feel about
it. And if we are unhappy we can leave, but not too fast
because there’s a great chance we can change things from the
inside.
I worked in one industry for a while where I was aware that
things were a bit dodgy, so I adopted the line of asking, “What
if the press got hold of this, what would that do to us?” I
wasn’t whistle-blowing or opposing anyone, merely asking.
But it did draw attention to the fact that what was happening
was slightly the other side of a fine line. Maybe you could do
the same. Or maybe you can slowly, quietly use the influence
that you have and the actions you are able to take to change
things ever so slightly for the better.
AS A WRITER, I AM AWARE
THAT A LOT OF GOOD
TREES COULD DIE YOUNG
BECAUSE OF ME.
