some people don’t want to climb the corporate ladder, even if they used to.

some people don’t want to go “above and beyond.”

some people want less responsibility, not more.

some people want to do the job they were hired to do and be done.

there is *nothing* wrong with this.

we need to normalize language like this. you don’t have to work 90 hours a week to be “dedicated.” you don’t have to love your job. you CAN be in it just for the paycheck. that’s literally what a job is: payment for services.

this rhetoric of “what success looks like” is a falsity we have been tricked into believing to maximize corporate profits. success looks different depending on who and when you ask… sometimes success is getting up in the morning, and sometimes it’s getting promoted. it’s all relative, and we need to remember that.

@triciakickssaas 100% agree. Just wish someone would have told my employer this two years ago. Oh well, I’m much happier where I am now (self employed), even if the getting here wasn’t so great.
@smitty  so sorry you had to go through that, but glad you are happy where you are now 
@triciakickssaas thank you. But I’m good. Much privilege and luck, I don’t have a lot of room to complain over all. Depression and anxiety affects everyone, regardless of privilege and position, but privilege and position make it easier for some to deal with it.
