True statements - Definitely don’t want to be hanging in the wind when the music stops and/stuck in a miserable position. Golden handcuffs is pure gold and so many during the lost decade predominantly and understandably were subject to this. I can only imagine that was a truly trying situation compared to this past decade. Everyone has a cut and run point or pain threshold if you will. As the years roll seniority gains, schedules tend to get better, pay bumps happen, security increases, etc. (normally - aside from delayed contracts, takeovers, doors closing, etc.) Cuffs begin to tighten so here’s to folks finding their true dream job and the term job hopefully doesn’t apply.
