Happy. But skeptical. I like the people I work with, I have a ton of flexibility, and I’m so well paid that it’s a little weird. I like this stuff, and would do most of it for free. But the MegaCorp I work at has been tightening their screws with worker hostile stuff: removing benefits, changing pay structures, trying to force me to go to the office, and etc. All that changes how I look at what I’m doing. They are, of course, psychopaths. I always knew that but thought I found a comfortable little groove in the system to do things I like with people I like. Now… Less. There’s an undercurrent of coercion that makes me feel a little icky, and now I’m more ready to roll the dice on change and seeing what’s next.
