I'll add something to this here instead of editing: It's performance review season (feels like it always is now - twice a year and check-ins) and I do find myself not able to do those as well anymore. Because it's constantly about growth and desire for growth. I don't want to grow professionally anymore. It's not zero sum, but effort and focus spent on my career as a backend guy isn't going to benefit me compared to, say, playing guitar or drawing. So I have to bullshit my way through that with fake statements. In reality, I'll continue being as good as I currently am. Which is pretty good and people seem to be happy with my services. But the way companies use growth to effectively make you orient your mindset in their favor is definitely annoying. I see you plain, monster.
