I'm an AAer, although still only on step 6, but my way of making decisions now tends to be...

1) Ask myself..
What would a successful AA member do?
What would God have me do?
What is the loving thing to do?
Is my motive good?

2) Use the serenity prayer, asking to the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

What 'real' power do you have in the situation? Sometimes employers give us pretend power. Ie. they just want to have us take the flack for them when they make a decision they know will upset other people. I.e. If you speak your mind about the situation, can you actually change what is happening?
