Caurora have passion for her work, her craft and after the years of hard work, she got her reward - she is now on management level. It is usual for having manageral power, there would be more money or more respect, and certainly, more challenges.
Her boss is an easy going man with a great heart, he created the most liberal and warm creative environment. Everyone feels like part of a big family. In this world of utopia, everyone gets to express themselves and their ideas will be accepted.
The clock runs for 24 hours only each day and 365 days each year. One thing about this world is that when it comes to a large group of people, there's no such thing as accepting all ideas - ideas are all great but how effecitive each idea is, would be the key to identify if such idea deserve the group's effort. when it comes to 20 people trying to ask the father figure (the boss) about their idea, they behave like little kids trying to get what they wanted from their parents.
Bad parents would agree with everything then take back moments before delivery. Some like Caurora's boss, allow someone else to do the dirty deed for him so he can keep his nice warm image. Hence, Caurora plays the bad cop.
Some call it utopia, others can call it disorganised.
Some call it manipulative, some can call it warm heart.
Intentional or not, in the most gentle way, the crueler part of business of rejection had been gently off-loaded onto Caurora's plate. The reward of a more important role means the bad nature of business is tipping the balance with Caurora's good nature.
The question is not to identify if Caurora's boss is evil or good or if such arrangment is intentional or not. Sometime, we just have to accept the fact that business is less than a utopia.
The main question is - does she love her job? does she love being at her level? Is this job a bridge to access something higher (which can be potentially crueller)? What else can she do to make her feel better about playing such role? Would there be better methods to play her role without intruding her good nature?
If we feel miserable at work, the first thing we can do of is, go back to the moment when we saw the job ad, what did we felt? And the answer shall come.
