[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 691047, member: 19951"] My Dear, I think many of us go through this, feeling like we are losing our capabilities and sense of worth at work. I know I did about 5 years ago. Had a new young girl come in- man, she was fast at everything. You told her verbally how to do something and she did it. No notes, and remembered, brain like a steel trap. Not me, I am visual learner, I have to take notes. My boss is a great boss and have worked for him 20 years. Well this girl worked for him as well. Well he thought she was the best worker, bragged about her all the time how fast and good she was. Well, of course, I felt kicked to the curb, bit insecure, became self-conscious about my work and abilities. Fast forward, boss saw this girl for what she was- and what we were seeing when her true colors came out. She would sneak out early when he was in a meeting, she didn't deposit an 11 million dollar check when she left to do so, she then called in sick for two days. No check deposited, boss called, she swears she deposited it. Well another boss saw her come in that night and take the check out of her drawer. She was caught lying. Then she lied about her husband being in an accident, in the hospital. Well she got caught in that lie- she finally left as her husband got another job out of state. Boy, he rips her all the time now. What a con artist she was. Sooo, moral of the story, yeah, we get knocked off our socks as we age, new and younger people come in, seem faster and better then us old gals, but, looks can be deceiving. Go into work and shine, you are an expert in your field and don't let anyone shake your self worth at work. You haven't lost that Mojo! [/QUOTE]
