Totally agree. I job hopped the first 5 years in my line of work. A lot.
A L O T.
Then at my last place of employment, once I was in a position where everything depended on me, I demanded more money. MGMT caved, kicking and screaming. Man, did they hate the fact that I smelled blood in the water, and it was their wounds I was feasting on. They never officially made me a manager or keyholder or whatever you want to call it, but I ran the floor. At the end of my tenure, I was working from home 95% of the time, basically doing whatever the fuck I wanted.
I still got jaded. I knew it was all bullshit. I hated it. I hated everything that was associated with "business." I hated my boss and my boss's boss. I knew they were empty vessels filled with nothing more than catch phrases and slogans. Tangent: funny how business people love to shit on pyramid scheme victims but the truth is, the difference between LuLaRoo, et al, and most places I've worked is the entry fee to get in.
The next big revelation was realizing that being "established" allowed me to opt out of the whole business scene. It can be done if you know what you're doing. But I can't go into more detail without self-doxxing.
