I'm at the end of mine. I just want minimal bullshite for the last 6 years 1 month and 7 days. I don't want any more promotions or career development or leadership mentorship or any of that. I've demoted myself twice already and quite literally have a more impressive CV than people two steps above me. I've no interest in climbing the ladder again I just want to be left the F alone to do my job.

I just wanted to do what I was good at and get paid fairly for it. Got off to a great start and was climbing the career ladder. Unfortunately, most of the executives I ended up working for were unethical and I was laid off repeatedly. Long story short, I have no career. I never wanted to be an entrepreneur, but that’s what I am now.
