I got out of corporate America making 80k to 100k a year. I couldn’t stand the politics. I choose my job wisely work smarter not harder and don’t buy into the politics way less money BUT the same bullshit. I now work with miserable people who suck the life right out of me. 8 hours is 8 hours people choose wisely. Go for what you’re worth because Bs is Bs no matter which way you cut it when you work for someone else. Find a job you love you’ll never work a day in your life.
You are right. Same circus, different clowns - that's how I look at it.
