Hahaha I’m an Aussie in my thirties and leaving the office behind to start an Elec apprenticeship. Honestly I was good at what I did, but I hated it, and “knowledge workers” don’t have a union.
I like the dopamine rush afforded by projects having a definitive end.
I dropped everything in my twenties to look after a dying family member.
Thought my family would support me when all was said and done. I left a very promising career to do this.
Everyone just kind of went their seperate ways and I almost ended up homeless. While my dad immediately found another woman, took all his money and fucked off.
I’m just starting to recover almost a decade later.
I’m kind these days, I think. But I’m not nice.
Yeah, folks are super reasonable compared to other social media sites, for the most part. The occassional nutter isn’t propped up by some PR company bot net to drive engagement so they just end up downvoted into oblivion.
It’s refreshing.
