my company is trying to ‘change the culture’ to be one of co-location and collaboration, so they invested in new ‘agile’ workspaces

the other ‘agile’ locations were renovations-in-place, but in boston they moved the office and in some cases, increased commutes by an hour

i guess, in summary, start saving early. make smart decisions about your career path. _have_ a career path.

don’t get stuck in your 40s having to do an unfulfilling job for a despicable company because you need the salary. also: brush your teeth.

also i realize that a middle aged, well-compensated white guy deserves absolutely no sympathy.
