Yeah. I’m the same. Im sure it’s to my detriment that I hate the hoop jumping rat race nature of the modern workplace, but I think opting out has led to greater happiness.

I just know I would absolutely hate competing over positions and titles. The real beneficiaries of this are the owners of the businesses who make up these meaningless distinctions in order to get everyone grinding their lives away for shiny baubles.

This is what a union does. Lots of folks like these structures.

These mid-size and larger companies offer defined pay, bonus, perks, expectations, and many other predictable attributes. This structure is of a high value to folks who prize stability, to take care of things like their family.
