Well, a few weeks ago (maybe a month) my wife and I came to a decision. I've worked in IT (in some capacity or another) for almost 25 years. The problem for me was, I never wanted to do that as a career. It never excited me in any way, I get yelled at (literally) quite often, and for some reason people believe the pay is awesome but its really not. Its quite average honestly.
On top of this, I can never seem to find an honest workplace. People seem to love stabbing each other in the back to make it 2 steps ahead. I HATE that with a passion. I've lost jobs over it even.
To make matters even worse, I watch these mandates happening, the politics of killing / making sheep out of businesses. I don't want back into it. The stress of the whole thing combined was actually causing me physical symptoms like chest pains, headaches, that kind of thing.
So, I took something I do enjoy, and I've decided to start my own company. I'm done with being part of the "workforce" (and yes, I know technically I would be). I'm not going to work for anyone but myself. I'm going to do whats best for myself.
I'm curious how many people are making that decision or if I'm the only one out there?
