I would like to have a different job, but the market is all AI trash right now, so I haven't been doing anything. But I feel I need to do something to at least take a step toward having a different job. So, I did the least effort thing, which was to log into LinkedIn.
It was a gross scroll as always, full of fake and/or deluded positive statements about companies and just non-stop obsequiousness. But instead of the usual "well, where can I get paid with less pain than I have now" thinking, my brain immediately jumped to "you need to get out of working entirely — work culture is fucked." Which, of course, is not an option. But I do wonder if this is kind of moment is what people who do heists go through.
