anyway, i have faith in your powers of problem solving and i drink to your future escape
ah, an accomplice! yes.
Why would that be the case? From the way you write about your role at your company it seems that you're a critical asset, and with your amount of experience what would prevent you from acquiring another job in the future? I don't think I can fully grasp just how fast the tech world changes, but certainly your prior career would mean something to a future employer, even if it was for a lower position.
Power + control matter.
I can understand that, all good points. Your descriptions of your quality of life while working really make it sound like something has to give, though.Different employer - Every job has some crap aspects. It's likely a new position recreates my situation at another company. Only, I wouldn't have the decade of organizational relationships, knowledge and reputation. Current circumstances have my appetite to restart extremely low. I hate selling myself to other people.
This sounds more like a you problem than an employer problem, which is good because it means it's fixable!I have tried playing below my level. It did not go well. I get involved anyways, but without the benefit of authority.
I'd keep: solving new problems, working from home, setting my hours and getting moneyAlphaville wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 12:27 amPower + control matter.
so if you could stay at your organization, but remove the bothersome parts of your job-- what would you do?
And if you could work independently, just to pay for the individual health plan, what would you do?
If we start that list, it will require a dedicated thread . I no longer try to change my character traits, at least not for an employer. Instead, I seek situations that fit the person I am. I spent years performing socially at work - pattern matching and running scripts. It is miserable, and why I am so resistant to rebuild at a new company.
transparent? no, no idea; i just know about them and their philosophy since forever and they even wrote books about it. i used to be one of their consumers. and 4 day workweeks and not wanting to sell to google but being like a nice neighborhood italian restaurant etc etc always stuck with me.
This quote is from page 1 of this log, and going back to some of your older posts from 7+ years ago, it looks like you've maintained an incredibly high savings rate for a very long time. I know you're a fairly private person wrt specifics around finances here, but maybe you could share some more concrete numbers with the rest of us for some guidance?
