I was told once, “you will never get rich working for anyone else but yourself”. That doesn’t mean just wealth, it also means richness of life. One day I will be rich.
No. Thex makes it topside and... we never see what it's like out there, only that it's daytime and *something* flies past the camera. He could have died in 5 minutes, for all we know.
Aside from that, this is an interesting take on working for a living.
Don’t tell me what to do, and don’t tell me what to think, and don’t tell me what I would do if I had money.
That Carrie Fisher sure was a fetching young thing.
Too bad she is such a whack-job.
“3) Corporations don’t like you.”
I remember, back in the day when a major computer company had an ‘Open Door Policy’. An employee could escalate their grievance to top levels of management. Wonder if they still have that policy.
I did the exact same thing 6 years ago. Called my wife while sitting in traffic on a Friday and said, “I hate my job. I don’t want to do this any more. I’m going nuts.” To which she responded, “OK. Then quit and do something else.” She didn’t care if I shoveled sh*t or flipped burgers. My wife is one in a billion.
I don’t make 6 figures any longer, but I’m a hell of lot happier.
Lots of truth in this article. For myself I can say that I started my last job in 1984 at a salary of $27.5K, I left that job around $58K a year. Well guess what people? I used an inflation calculator and in 1984 dollars I was making... Ta Da! $27.5K. And my income taxes were a LOT higher than they had been in 1984. End result was I had not gotten ahead, I had fallen behind. Twenty seven years of work, some pleasant most were not... down the drain. My life’s time was not compensated very well as far as I am concerned.
Now a days I make a lot less and I am extremely happy with my life. I guess I learned my lesson after all.
Working for yourself is an ATTITUDE, not a signature on your pay stub. I work for myself. Someone else signs the checks. I even work in a cube. And I LOVE IT!. Being happy with your job is in your head. If you are in it to get rich then you will not be satisfied no matter what you do. People that bend over backward to make you UN happy with your job (like this author) are usually trying to sell you something.

Thanks for posting
When asked about Illegal Immigraton his answer centered around (paraphrase) " I'm told all the time, business's don't have enough workers in this country..."
When asked about extending unemployment benefits his answer was (paraphrase) "Unfortunately we don't have enough jobs in this country at this time ..."
My boss (the sole owner) is an 0mbomabot. His son worked here for a while but then quit working here because they couldn’t get along. People get fired every so often on his whim. He makes arbitrary rules based on his emotions at the time. Everyone is afraid to speak their mind because they might get fired. He is always chewing a new stick of gum for a few minutes and then spits it out and starts a new stick. People are the same way here. He loves the new people but after the flavor is gone you’re dirt to him.
