Leave the shell of a company that sucks the happiness out of me, and move somewhere warmer.

Just curious, what about your current job sucks the happiness out of you?

My company used to have great employees, who I learned a lot from and to this day respect. I've been there 9 years now. At the first sign of trouble, the brightest left. At the next sign of trouble, the next brightest left, and so on and so forth. I don't necessarily think of myself as not bright, but being remote it was a great job compared to my city. Each iteration of trouble I watched the people I respect leave, and those I didn't latch on for power. Now it's in a freefall... I've had 5 managers in the last year, we were bought by PE, and my team was replaced with a new team who are quite honestly the least talented people I've ever worked with. I've never felt less productive, and moreso like I absolutely don't care about the product, and it's very depressing to me. I don't hide my identity online, and don't care that they inevitably see this message.

This is a note for my future self that I will come back to this. 1. Complete Beta of my "AI" SAAS offering and do a ShowHN in Q1. 2. Do a series of Medium posts with a deep dive on the Why, What, who and where? 3. Launch on PH, Reddit and start collecting feedback. 4. Go back to step 1 and repeat.

I completed my family this month. I have my dream job. I officially have everything I want in life, and now I just have to enjoy it all. So my focus is on: - improving living, eating, exercise habits - working on how not to lose perspective. I've turned down more money for more time with my family. I hope into my 30s I don't accidentally lose perspective on what's important. So far I think the trick is to live a poor…

Yes. At times it's a bit frustrating when everyone else drives a nicer car, but on the other hand not having to worry about money at all is pretty sweet.
