facebook post on xerox , va and me

i have taken a short leave of absence, one week, from work due to hormones and stress related to it. I found out , as months before, so many do care about me from the most unlikely places, xerox and the portland va. all the stories in media, online and other sources have been misrepresentations and distorted points of view from my experience with both xerox and the va. because of line news articles that we are bombarded with on a daily basis many in america have drawn conclusions of how and what both organizations act and respond to concerns.

in my darkest hours I have found that the people of xerox and the va have been with me every step of the way. the people in the organizations from the administrative assistant , coworker to upper level management have been nothing but kind , caring and supportive. I am deeply hurt that the media circulates news articles and editorials that are designed to do one thing , make money, at the expense of the good people in xerox and the va. As my mother would say , " shame on you."

I think you can see that I am very supportive of both organizations and people that serve veterans and the people who work with and for xerox. a ziglar quote :You are only as good as the people around you and thus I am one of the best at what I do because I am surrounded by the very best in society. Marine arrogance no just the fact of life. you are a product of your environment. also you are only as good as the people around you.

So when I had the courage to ask to speak in the va health care system which has included 50 directors and another speech of 100 plus. and take on a big project in xerox one that no one dare take on it was because of the people around me. I friend once told me , "rachel , it is all you." I responded, " if not fo you I would not be where I am today." She said, " I am just doing my Part." Thus I am just doing my part in both organizations and feel so blessed in so many way working for and around xerox and the va.

thank you and god bless each one of you
