I would approach it as a whole new company if I were to go back, and I have a pretty rigorous set of criteria for what I'm looking for in a workplace. I'm sorry to hear about your current company. "Insisting" on good morale, and punishing people for not having it, is deeply stupid and ultimately self-destructive -- but that's small consolation to the people that suffer in the meantime. The skills in the HAW program are presented as management skills, but I'm convinced they can make a difference to anyone practicing them in the workplace. But I've realized here that although I believe this, I'm not sure how to articulate it in this context. What kind of help can the HAW ideas offer you? I'll be thinking more about that. So thanks for commenting, I appreciate it. I hope you'll come back again. I’m not sure I’d want to work there again either — much has changed, I believe.

I wouldn't want to be an employee, even though writing for them for a living should be my dream job. As for my current job, my boss is fine, it's the company that blows donkey. They don't even care that you know they're lying to your face. They're HR philosophy is - The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves. I did some writing for WotC, but not as an employee.
