No company is perfect, and many workplaces have sniveling little twerps (often in senior management) who can make the place “unbearable” as you make close to six figures.

Exactly. I retired early about 16 months ago because I had a very minor mini-stroke and knew the stress needed to end. I was 67 at the time and, frankly, looking for an excuse, but the money was too good.

The stress was caused by the WFH environment and most of my time spent in webex meetings where it was very hard to understand what was going on, and nothing was getting done. The stress came from the feeling I was doing nothing for the money.

But a year later I found out that is what EVERYBODY felt like and nothing was, in fact, getting done. If I’d known that I could have, guilt/stress free, wasted my time in those meetings while I continued to earn a fat paycheck.

BTW, this is how nations collapse.
