I’m sick of this. I came here ready to elevate my career (network=net worth) but all I have to show for it is a resume full of craters and a black book full of people who wish me unwell (emptying). A few good connections in tech, but I mostly stay for general BA life and my community is nice.
My resume would be fine if I “played ball” aka. was an opportunistic smiling liar. Back in my old market we could give 4 week notice and say we were interviewing around, here they treat you like shit and terminate when you express need for rest/thoughts of change. I understand it from a fear/risk point of view, unsure how to change that besides refusing to play (eg. starting the next unicorn out of pocket as a B corp, making investors take a whiteboard exam before having a phone call with leadership :).
Money isn’t a motivator, contrary it makes the treadmill go faster if we aren’t anticipating how to make it work for us rather than help us consume ourselves in desire and lust. A steady business with an understandable revenue stream, imagine the anxieties we wouldn’t have.
