I retired recently and now have consulting firms chasing me because I worked for decades in airport management, and in a specific rather small niche of it, and became an expert nationally in certain aspects of air traffic navigation procedure implementation. During my time working for one of our largest airports, I had to deal with the full complement of “woke” idiocy, since as with most large airports, it was owned and run by the city government.

Now, though, I can call the shots and decide which work I decide to take and how much of it. So I have much more freedom, more income, and total control. I could never go back to working for the empty-headed wokesters. One observation: Just as with our worthless political “representatives”, the denizens of the C-suite love to talk big about “accountability”, but strangely when their poor decisions inevitably lead to catastrophe the finger of accountability never seems to point back at them. Strange….

Good for you! I often invited people similar to you to join our firm. I told them this:

There is no big tit for you to suck on anymore.
Nobody loves you and never did.
You have to take care of yourself.
Always behave in public as a cool professional. I’m the hired asshole when it is time and that time is seldom.
Your only value is what you deliver, excellent product.
When stuck on the horns of an ethical dilemma always choose the harder personal right. I will back you if you do.
When you look in the mirror know that you have to go out and kill something to eat today or there will be no meal on the table when you come home.
Good luck, good hunting, call me if I can help you.
