It’s funny to think about how much we kill ourselves trying to put good work into the world and how little people notice. I hope the people paying us continue to care.

The people paying me only care about one thing, and it isn’t how hard I’m driving myself or whether I’m happy.

ACD1: the fish is pretty good actually. The disgusting part is they only have light beer, and there’s this guy named Andy who always brings his karaoke rig over but all he has on it is Bob Seger and CCR.

Yep. People take it seriously because there is a lot of money involved, and they need to constantly validate their work.

Yes. Money gets better. You get less emotionally involved. I also got bored coming up with ideas, but really enjoy coaching younger teams now.

It’s pretty rare to find a place that cares.

Don't worry about it. You're already thinking about this more than they are. Keep taking their money while they dilute themselves into believing any of this matters or that we're doing something valuable to society.

I agree the relationship between the employer and employee needs to improve, and not everything should be graded in terms of money.

I’ve been super lost for a few years and think I need to act on my unhappiness and get out while I’m young. Any advice?
