Having talked to several it seems like some of them are perfectly content and that worries me for what they’d accept in a TA.
I agree there’s lots on the Kool-Aid. It is up to those of us who aren’t to tactfully inform the other side of the story.
Can see this. I’m a beneficiary of incredible timing myself. I’ve talked to a handful of folks in my same timeframe that seem to miss this. Agree with Viper’s point that those who HAVE been through the pain to inform us, but it’s also our responsibility to ASK. I always find stories of “how did you get to that seat” fascinating anyway, and when you talk to someone who’s been furloughed, victim of Lost Decade, etc., it’s enlightening.
