I was around for a long time and never thought I’d leave. Felt like it was my calling, loved what I did and was so good at it. Then I turned 50 and got NSI’d. Realized they didn’t value me or my contributions at all. How could I be so ignorant?! Hit the door so fast it surprised even me. Felt awesome, best feeling to just say f*** it all and walk away. But once the shock wore off, yeah, it was terrifying.
It all worked out. They get you in a trance with the big money and big benefits. But, it really is possible to make a decent living outside of ExxonMobil.
Take control: own your career AND your future. It’s entirely up to you, not some corporate a$$ kissing nincompoop to determine your worth and “potential.”
