The longer you work anywhere -- and I mean ANYWHERE -- the more you see the bullshit and corruption and crappy rules or policies and inequality all over.
For me it has been about the 3 year mark anywhere I've worked: once you get past that, you fade away from "damn I'm glad to have a job and be making money!" and towards "this is absolute bulls#!t that [boss] did [thing] and hurt the workers in the process!" or similar

Thanks, I agree!

Today businesses increase like mushrooms after rain, and decrease like mushrooms before summer.

Don't get attached, move on to the next better mushroom 🍄
