How would you deal with being forced to move teams?

At work, we have three teams: A, B and C.

Someone in Team B has wanted to move to Team A (my team) for some time, but hasn't been able to because there were no positions available. Similarly, someone in Team C wants to move to Team B.

I was previously asked if I wanted to move teams, but I declined because I was happy where I was. I've now found out that I'm being forced to move.

I'm struggling with the fact that I was given a choice before and said no, while others actively want to move into different teams.

From a Stoic perspective, how would you approach this?

Thank you.

Two people jump from a tall building. One was kind, one was cruel. Gravity doesn't care. Both die. Nature doesn't say, "This person was good, so I'll save them." It is morally indifferent.

So, why be virtuous when ultimately nothing matters?

Hi Reddit,

Very much a Stoic in training here! I was hoping to gain clarity on a couple keywords.

• Eudaimonia
• Nature
• Virtue (Arete)
• The 4 cardinal virtues - wisdom, justice, courage, & temperance
• Vice
• Preferred Indifferents

My understanding is that Eudaimonia is achieved by living virtuously and in accordance with nature. Virtue is the only true good and within this are the 4 cardinal virtues; wisdom, justice, courage, & temperance.

Vice is the only true bad and Indifferents are neither inherently good or bad however, this is dependent on how they're used.

• Would you agree with this quick summary?
• Are there any keywords I am missing?
• Could you clarify what Nature means?
• Is Virtue specifically the 4 cardinal Virtues?

The more I read, the more confused I get. I am trying to build the foundation but I feel that I am incoportaing the work of many different philosophers. Truly grateful for any help given.
