It's not even this for me, as much as it is feeling "trapped" in a situation. I like to keep my options open. When I feel trapped, I move on. "Rewards" can't keep me sane, and without sanity everything else loses meaning. Part of the reason why I got out of big tech: their MO is to keep you trapped, a compliant, good little cog wearing pretty, gold plated handcuffs. As an ex-Microsoft VP once told me: "it's a warm Gulag".

- m0zg 5y agoDoesn't matter how "cushy" it is or how big your paycheck is if you're depressed and going insane. That's the point.
- toxik 5y agoAh yes, temperature is surely the big difference between - let me check my notes - work camps where people starve to death and an office job that you signed up for and are free to leave, with good prospects for your future career. Apt analogy there.
