Age is also something that matters here. Are you middle-aged yet? I ended up pulling the brakes on my career to get a better work-life balance, but it ended up stunting my career trajectory a bit.

Once I had more free time and realized I wanted to earn more, I had to hustle to get back to a top-of-market position.

In short: there’s always time on the future to pivot to Option B. If there’s more value to extract where you are, milk it for all it’s worth and then exit before it goes south (as all jobs do).

And here I am near the end of the day saying “well fuck, guess I’m working late tonight to deliver this thing I promised.”

I do this to myself…

I always feel like the features I’ve worked on become my coworkers or like pets. When a specific feature breaks often, I’ll think “damnit Frank! One of these days I’m going to patch that edge case once and for all!”

Then I patch Frank and he quiets down so I can focus on the next thing leadership wants.

You get to know these things and you put care into designing them (if you didn’t put care into them, you’d likely be a hack of an IT person). It’s always hard to see them go.

Sorry for your loss.

Tbh, I’ve heard both

Need a lot of oil tho…

This 100%. Creative atonement doesn’t make it cruel.

Being honest and then cutting them out of your life is certainly one way to go about it.

That said, if you’ve been in a relationship for 3 years, do you think you family has zero idea you’re gay, or might they have an idea already?

We often aren’t as sneaky as we think.

EY! I’m swimming’ ova here!

The payback is knowing that one day their kids will do the same to them, right ;)

The “slow mornings” one is my favorite.

Thanks for all you do! Good solution.

Wrong on so many levels

The place I used to work had a small “market” where you could buy candy or a pre-packaged sandwich…

Prices were exorbitant.

They had the gall to claim that market was an employee benefit.

I can’t even share this in the boys chat, but this shit made me cackle

I appreciate your research lol

I felt the exact same sentiment. Not being able to sort my feed based on “most likes” or “most reposts” didn’t make sense to me. I wanna see top quality content first, not just some rando’s thoughts at the exact moment that I’m online.

Like, it was fine, but it didn’t quite hit the spot.

But even with the increase in births, the country’s population fell for a third consecutive year.

The data also showed that more than 2.6 million couples filed for divorce last year, up 1.1% from 2023.
