If you’re upset, quit and become a freelancer. You’ll figure it out pretty quickly, I suspect. As a general life rule, if it ever seems like somebody else is doing better than you, instead of bitching about it, do what they are doing.
- andix 2y agoI fully agree with that statement. But keep in mind that the grass is always greener on the other side. Freelancing has it's own challenges. Especially in economically uncertain times, freelancers are the first ones who lose their jobs, if the company needs to save money.
- baal80spam 2y ago> But keep in mind that the grass is always greener on the other side. I think you meant "isn't"?
- hypeatei 2y agoNot GP, but that is the correct saying. Basically, it'll always look greener from where you're at but that isn't always true necessarily.
- andix 2y agoNo, this is the commonly used phrase. AI explanation: The correct proverb is “the grass is always greener on the other side.”. It means we tend to idealize other people’s situations, seeing only their positives and overlooking their hidden challenges. It warns that every circumstance has its own drawbacks and reminds us to appreciate and cultivate what we already have.
- drob518 2y agoYep, that’s exactly my point. There are very few free lunches in the world. Sometimes, you’ll find one, but typically you’ll just find a trade off, with some segment of the population valuing something more than the rest of the population. In this case freedom to choose jobs vs job security in a downturn.
- Aurornis 2y agoNote that the freelancers who come through agencies have their own employment arrangements with the agencies. They aren’t getting 100% of that pay. With some agencies they may only be getting 3/4 or as little as 1/4 of it.
- drob518 2y agoYep, that too.
