MBA = More Bad Advice
Lost the will to stay employed after 18 months working at the kitchen table (COVID) with daily 3 hour zoom calls…
Best decision ever…
It’s an easy decision to make once you’ve paid off your mortgage. I became a contractor as soon as that happened.
I’ve worked under American ownership and with many Americans over the years without too many issues (one notably insane period aside). Although some of the language can be wearing (I’ve acquired a number of Americanisms, though am yet to “reach out”), I find their relentless positivity quite refreshing.
