I find myself lately wishing I could go back to when I took my first job in my field and turn it down. Now I'm almost 30 years in, with my 3rd office in those 30 years, my salary sucks and I dread doing this every day.

If for ONE SECOND I thought I could do the things that make me joyful and still keep my money where it is, these people would never see me again.

What I've found to be true in my case is I'm stuck in that thought process that if you're loyal to your company, it will be loyal back. My first company I was with 13 years. And I was able to obtain my first certs with their help. My big boss knew he was making an intelligent investment in me, and once I passed all of my testing, I proved him right.

Loyalty.

People were different, invested in not only their own growth, but the growth of the company. Everyone knew everyone and people were invested in the growth as a whole.
There's nothing like that in this timetable.

I don't know, it would just be super great to be compensated in such the way that the feeling of being taken advantage of wasn't so heavy in my day to day operations.

Companies never pay quality. They pay friends.

That's the most terrible truth...

Question about inclusion….

While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?
