Work in a company

I'm a 50-year-old office worker.
I have a spouse and no children.
I changed jobs at the end of last year.
It was a small company, and the president evaluated my career, and I changed jobs.
I am currently being offered the position of business manager.

In my own way, I intend to make an effort to socialize with everyone in the company and work initiatives so that I can quickly get used to this company.
However, due to minor misunderstandings and differences in corporate culture, misunderstandings occurred, and not only the president,
It caused distrust from people around me, and I was demoted to being treated as a temporary employee.
There seems to be no sense of responsibility when it comes to work, to get through to the end.
I myself was in a tough situation or in a situation where I was hesitant about making decisions, so since my employment period is still short, there are many things I don't understand, and I also consulted with the president,
From the standpoint (of being a business manager), I think I would have liked them to make more of their own decisions.
The president said they would take care of them until the end of December this year, but that they would like them to retire after that.

As for me, I was able to make a certain amount of savings during my previous job, there were no mortgages or education expenses for my children, and it seems like I'll be able to live somehow until I get a pension, so I withdrew from the front line,
I'm thinking about living a life where I work part-time when necessary.
Also, since I'm 50, it's difficult to change jobs, and I don't feel like changing jobs with my current feelings.

When I was in my 30s, there was a time when I struggled with work, and I managed to overcome it, but I was traumatized by the suffering at that time, and in tough situations, I have a self that makes me want to run away, if anything.
My wife is told that it's useless if she's not the kind of person who can overcome it, not money.
It's depressing to go every day, every day.

I would be grateful if you could give me any advice.

Thank you for your support.

Thank you for your hard work every day. I understand that you are struggling at work and that it may be difficult.
Everyone makes mistakes, so don't let them get too distracted.

However, it's at work, and when it comes up about relationship issues or even about leaving the company at the end, it's painful.
It's hard to say force yourself to hold on and do your best no matter what... Why don't you share your thoughts with your colleagues? Even those who understand and cooperate may change to an environment where it is easier to work. Also, if you don't overdo it and end up retiring, I think you can make use of your experience up until now, work part-time is good, and community activities etc. will also be fun as a couple.

Let's get over it because my wife supports me well from behind! I think it's a powerful encouragement (*^^*)

There is no winter without spring.

Just as there are easy and fun times in life,
There are times when it's hard, and there are times when it's sad.
Maybe now is just that difficult time.
but if you just run away from there, your life ahead is
It just makes me run away.
There is a saying, “Saion is a horse.”
An opportunity becomes a pinch, and a pinch becomes an opportunity.
Think now is the time and think about the future.
Please have a thorough discussion with your wife.
God doesn't give you tests you can't overcome.
Please take advantage of this opportunity next time.

Cats, pigeons, and crows may hold the answer.

In the world of monasteries, which are Zen training dojos, there are various departments, and departments change every 3 months.
At the temple I was at, it was 200 yen a day no matter how hard I tried.
It's amazing that the hourly rate isn't even 10 yen.
I wasn't expecting to get it, so I was thankful.
If I had been looking for money from the beginning, I wouldn't have gone to that place.
What happens when people don't need money?
It fosters flexibility and environmental adaptability to live in any environment.

A long time ago, it seems that there were horrible creatures in the ocean, like dinosaurs that ruled the ocean, plus sharks. However, they became extinct due to environmental changes.
Why did the remaining creatures survive without becoming extinct?
That is the ability to adapt to the environment. It doesn't matter how big it is, how strong it is, or how good it is.
The fact that even crows, cats, and pigeons have continued to live in the present day means they probably have the ability to respond and adapt to changes in the environment in a certain way, even if they look blurry.
Just like a kite floats using the wind,
Just like surfers use waves to ride well,
Just as Saitama successfully cultivated tropical plants such as mangoes using this intense heat,
In the midst of a difficult predicament, if you have to go through the mud, you can use that mud to make a field! I think we need a survival spirit, flexibility, and flexibility (nyunanshin) the most right now.
When you finally feel a sense of crisis, please remember these words and overcome them.

“edge”

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is a humble answer to the question.

Question “I don't feel like work is fun”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/155

I answered the above question with the title “Towards an 'trigger.'” Also, I have answered the following question under the title “Enjin wa Suki Mitai Seigen.”

Question “A Life of Bankruptcy and Restructuring”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/152

In either case, I'm talking about “relationships.”

As long as you spend time in this lucky world, you will never be able to avoid “relationships.” Originally, there should be nothing good or bad about this “relationship,” but we decide what is good or bad due to our own arbitrary convenience, self-righteousness, complacency, likes and dislikes, etc., and we get caught up in it, and we end up suffering in search of the good relationships we have been caught up in, and we also suffer because we want to reject, avoid, or dislike bad relationships we are caught in.

What is important here is to say that “relationships” are inherently neither good nor bad. The rest is how to capture that “relationship,” accept that “relationship,” and how can we spend our time without suffering, or make use of it in our lives. In terms of Buddhism, the “middle path,” which is unfettered, unfettered, and unfettered, is treated as important when dealing with “relationships.” Of course, we cannot exist without “relationships,” so if possible, we would like to spend our days happy and safe by making use of our various “relationships.”

While adjusting the way we look at “relationships” on a daily basis to the “middle way,” we particularly recommend good deeds in Buddhism for the future of true good relationships. Good deeds are acts of mercy and altruism, but in current terms, I think volunteering, service, and charitable activities are close to some extent. Of course, life also happens, so as long as it's not impossible, I pray that you will make use of your career up until now, build up good causes, and as a result, a true good relationship will revolve around from now on, and you will be able to live a fulfilling life.

Take good care of your wife

To Hamakko-sama

First, what would you like to do in the future
I'd like you to think about it again.
Is it OK to leave the front line as it is
or do you still want to do more work

What I definitely want you to keep in mind at that time is my wife's words.
After all, I think the person closest to me is saying good things.
There are many things that make you want to run away when you're alive.
There was also a sentence about leaving the line like this, that there is no sense of responsibility
I'm also wondering if they'll be connected.

Once again what do I want to be in the future
Please think about it, and walk honestly with your wonderful wife. Gassho

Because happiness doesn't last long...

 Hamakko-sama
I love history, but the period I can call happiness didn't last long, no matter what great person or era. However, I believe that happy times will always come, so I can do my best.
I'm sorry, but your life belongs to you. Your spouse's life also belongs to your spouse. Rather than our monks' answers, my own answers. Prioritize your spouse's answers over your own.
This is in a good sense, though. “My husband is doing well and it's good to stay away.” You must be thinking that. The meaning of this is “I can make housework worthwhile just by watching my husband devoting himself to work and being lively.” It's something like that. You don't have to go back like a newlywed. I mean, I don't want them to come back after a good year. You want you to enjoy your life and your spouse's life. Please post more about the happiness of married couples in their 50s and give me hope.
I'm in my 30s and have been married for 3 years. The rule is that those who work together and come home early make dinner. They also work night shifts, so we don't meet face to face every day, but it's fun.
Please think about it. Are Orihime and Hikoboshi unhappy?
