Incomprehensible

I wrote this on September 23, 2011, but didn't publish. How prophetic. I don't understand the "found Jesus" mentality that people employ when faced with unpalatable reality. If you are sitting on death row for a crime worthy of said sentence and you "find Jesus," what part of the Christian doctrine absolves you from experiencing the entire consequence of your sin? Nowhere does it say that forgiveness means you don't make recompense. Duh!


For the last seven months my immediate supervisor and my co-worker have been the victims of relentless persecution by immature and insecure teammates. Now, that they have tendered their resignations, they are being treated fairly by the departmental leadership and protected from the onslaught of the persecutors. Isn't it a little too late?


This behavior irritates me. Why now? Why start treating them fairly now? Why protect them now? I get that you're afraid, that all the time and energy expended to train these two seems wasted now, but shouldn't you have thought about that in the beginning when all the persecutions started? 


Maybe now the fear is that I will leave too (which isn't too far from the truth because given the right opportunity I will jump). I have no reason to stay and endure the torture. No amount of money will induce me to accept maltreatment.
