Burned out, I can see why and relate to that. I want to do more but am finding it harder every day. I’m also finding it harder to adapt to the attitudes and ways of doing business. I find I’m better off just doing the technical and hard work of organizing and planning nobody else wants to do.
As long as you can get paid for it. I find an active resentment of education, experience and hard work in most workplaces today. It rocks the boat. I am horrified at how many people just want to "mail it in", take a paycheck and never color outside the lines. It is the failure of large systems and huge corporations micro-managing aggregated "profit centers." Entreprenurial spirit is discouraged not just by government, but also by petty bureaucrats in ever-larger conglomerates.
It is criminal that our thriving small-business economy has been all but destroyed by Democrat adminstrations from FDR forward. The Great Society destroyed families and the responsibilities of fathers for their children -- but when they can't get jobs and government steps in, what? Globalization has been a job-killer and cottage-industry destroyer since the Clinton years; the and don't even get me started on immigration as a politico/economic strategy (modern-day slavery), oppressive regulation and the current mess over compulsory "healthcare". They have killed the Golden Goose.
