SHOW NOTES:
Did people whine as much years ago as they do now?
They won't let me succeed at my job. They won't hire me anywhere else.
Maybe "toxic workplaces" are caused by toxic employees? Maybe terrible bosses are just leaders expecting employees to meet deadlines and fulfill assignments?
The fault is with the "Boomers" or GenX because they took advantage, they led great lives, and left nothing for us! Nothing but a healthier, safer world and the last decade of constantly improved living standards.
I'm not valued! Maybe because you don't create much value and you don't make it visible.
Take some accountability, and stop immersing yourself in the internet for that good old confirmation bias from other people who don't take initiative.
If you're unhappy in your job, change it or leave it. There's plenty of work out there that pays well, isn't threatened by AI, but does require responsibility and ownership.
But just stop whining, stop yelling for your Mama.
It ain't your mother's fault.

SHOW NOTES:
I heard an "influencer" today on a morning talk show explain that dating, or having any ongoing relationship, is no longer considered favorable. In fact, he pointed out, many people are finding that being single—is "aspirational."
Now, I can understand independence and self-sufficiency, hell, I write about them as positive traits. But to seek to remain unattached to another person as "aspirational"? We all need others. We need companionship, love, solace in defeat, and celebration in victory. Many of us have visited foreign lands, scuba dived, engaged in competitions, faced health issues, suffered trauma. Doing so alone makes defeat into cataclysm and victory into evanescence.
It's healthy to be able to be effective and happy alone. But I doubt it's healthy to want to achieve that as some aspirational life goal. It takes accountability and sacrifice to be in any kind of relationship.
Perhaps being alone isn't so much a goal and as escape.
