Given the abusive policies, poor working conditions, and job insecurities of working for many large corporations, here’s my recommendation: if you’re looking for a job, look closely at Small and Medium-Sized Business (SMB) opportunities. Mega-corporations are no longer the goose that lays golden eggs. They are shedding jobs and shredding souls. If you have the personality for it, I encourage you to start your own business, but I know that’s not for everyone. “But Bob, I can’t make as much money if I don’t work for a mega-company!” Okay, it’s time for some serious introspection. What do you want out of life? What will create your contentment and peace? It may be time to reduce your spending, reduce your stress, and walk away from the superficial trappings of success that are causing you stress, not inner calm. If you want to make a difference, and be more easily recognized for the difference you make, work in a smaller company where you can shine brightly. #jobs #employment #security #planning #goals

    @fifonetworks@infosec.exchange ya, I've always preferred going for SMBs. Some though have leadership that tries to cosplay as Elon Musk and co. and that can put a damper on things sometimes--like a lack of communication/transparency with the team, weird performance metrics, etc (but it's far better than the real thing).

    @fifonetworks@infosec.exchange small firms are definitely much nicer to work for. You get a personal relationship with the md/ceo, they are mor flexible regarding HR rules and if the worst happens & they are forced to let you go they are mich nicer about it
