No, I don't dream to work anymore. Would like to retire and live life.

A bit harsh, no? Considering you’re being paid and given benefits in exchange for your time AND you can leave at any moment.. not something *actual* slaves receive.

Oh, absolutely, I've hit the jackpot in the corporate lottery, landing my dream job in a utopia where mediocrity isn't just tolerated—it's celebrated. Where climbing the career ladder isn't about the sweat on your brow or the quality of your work, but how enthusiastically you can attend DEI events. It's a place where hard work and talent are so passé, and the real skill is mastering the art of visibility at just the right gatherings.

Here, promotions are handed out not based on mundane achievements or, heaven forbid, leading a team to success. No, they're awarded to the most avid attendees of DEI events, as if presence alone is the mark of leadership. And the best part? Everyone knows the score, yet we all dance around the elephant in the room, pretending this is the pinnacle of corporate progressiveness.

It's a wonderful world for the directors and business mavens, who wear their DEI stats like Olympic medals, basking in self-adulation at every meeting. As for me, a proud member of the 'minority', if being placed on this illustrious pedestal for their convenience is what success looks like, then yes, I'm living the dream.

I would say no it was pretty close at one time however such is life and things change. Now I feel more kike it is torture bit I still enjoy what I do when working with clients

I’m not playing goalie for the Rangers so I’d have to say, no

It could be if one of my colleague wasn’t such an ass with everyone.

Maybe. I’ve only been there 4 months. In many ways it could be th answer to prayers. It certainly has everything I ever prayed for lately. I’m soooo thankful abut cautiously optimistic.

Working 100% remote and that's what I wanted. My manager is amazing and work is stress free. I'm truly blessed. But my dream would be to win the lottery and retire. In the meantime, this works.

These responses are hilarious 😂

truthfully, yes, I've never been happier. I'm around the best people who truly care about others and being better people all around and I can't imagine being anywhere else 🙌

No, absolutely not. But, I enjoy researching so much. Torn.
