At least 19? I worked a few jobs, then had two different mini-stints for about 4 years each, moving through the ranks. I appreciate your empathy, and I'd agree

I appreciate your empathy, and I'd agree - one of the things I learned and used over and over again is that if you want good work out of people you need some sort of alignment of outcomes - if they trust you to treat them right and have reasonable expectations and goals, then you can build a really excellent team.
- karmelapple 7y agoThanks for answering! Out of curiosity, were these bosses all at technology companies, in what would frequently be considered a "white collar" job?
- hobs 7y agoDefinitely white collar, but not all tech companies. Real estate, call centers, then operations/support for tech companies moving into data management and DBA work. I guess in retrospect the call center stuff was somewhat blue collar, but its really knowledge and process work instead of making things or buildings things.
