Words
of Wisdom: In order to stay safe and keep your
employment, a person may be required to role play, adapt to the
culture climate and embrace the political ethics which may consist
of legal and illegal activities, ethical and unethical games and
other hidden practices. For legal protection, I would follow
the law, policy and procedure to the best of your ability, but
beware of unseen physical, mental and spiritual problems that
can create a hostile environment. Remember, a person may have
to make tough decisions when you are being confronted with dangerous activities. When you have done everything in
your power to blend into the culture, but hostilities surround you,
ask for divine intervention to help you figure out the cultural and
political climate.

Conclusion
There is very little one can do to preserve your jobs short from legal action
which may drain your finances and possibly ruin your career. People may be
unable to help due to inability, internal politics or policy, threats, financial
instability, fear of legal attacks, mental health abuse or physical,
mental and spiritual terrorism that originates from a hostile environment. The bottom
line is that you are on your own.
Learning to maneuver in the company, community or government will require some
form of training in politicking, cultural climate, knowing your job and legal
rights. Always present what is right in the environment and then present new
ideas. To resolve your situation, spiritual discernment may be required to
resolve your situation.
