You are lucky to be working in an industry with a position and skillset that allows you that luxury. And yes it is a luxury, and one that many employees don't have.
- existencebox 10y agoI absolutely appreciate that; it's a constant effort to reskill myself to stay relevant and I may not always be able to keep up; do not mistake my comments as ignoring that. It was primarily intended to realize that while we have this advantage, if we let our employers leverage us and do not leverage them in return, we would be letting as you say, a rare opportunity, go to waste, and in many cases result in undervaluing ourselves. I do not believe we owe companies undue charity in that respect, when it is very often not shown in return.
