No, recruiters.

I do not want to be part of a "challenging" team.

I'm in my mid-50s. I want to be part of a "mature" team, a "powerful" team with a large and well-managed "throughput", a "structured" team that knows how to use processes to quickly and accurately handle the Same Stuff Happens Every Week so that when someone else comes screaming in with their ass on fire babbling about something someone else broke and We Need To Document This Thing NOW NOW NOW, one or two of us can calmly turn from our current tasks, neatly and quickly handle La Emergencia, and calm the panicked person's heartrate without raising our own.

I'm old. Fuck "ambition". I just want a good paycheck and no dumbass "this REALLY could have been avoided" hasslepanic.

@thelaughingmuse agreeing, but for the fact that FIRE had removed my need for a paycheck, so I can walk out. ( And have done so)

@CyclesSmiles My personal favorite way I left a job was when I told my boss that I was moving on, they asked when my last day would be, and I said, "How about today?"

@thelaughingmuse nice!
But I am aware this is a luxury position, not everybody can afford that ( me neither, 10 years ago).

You know how a person "calls in sick?"

My friend called in quit. That was it. Done. Quit.
