Belonging vs Fitting-in

How does it feel when you show up prepared, with great intentions, only to find out they want you to be something else? This is not about the skills you have or how you can perform, this is about the essence of who you are.

They are not even afforded the opportunity to demonstrate their skills. They want to learn, but are brushed aside, only to witness others in the role doing sub-par work.
