After being forced out of my high paying, good ole boys career at the beginning of the year...i got a job offer at 1/4 my former hourly rate. The insurance is only major medical and doesn't cover my college kid. It is an entry level completely opposite my 35+ work career, but my transferrable skills and business degree make me much more valuable. Yesterday I filed for my pension and countered the offer to be at 1/2 my former hr. wage, I like that its very close to home but, I will most likely have to pay for our own insurance and continue to save before I throw in the entire towel completely in 5-7 years. Good news is I am debt free, thank you Jesus! So insurance cost will be the only nut. Speaking of nuts...Am I nuts?

1 year ago I interviewed for a company made it to the 4th last interview . I rescheduled the last interview 2x because I was sick but I had to suck it up and still go sick otherwise my opportunity would pass . i ended up bombing it bc I was too sick and I could not reschedule for a third time I applied for the same job again , do you think they will give me a second chance if I explain I was sick the first time ? I executed every interview before that

The statue of a slave owner was on the grounds of the first. I didn't think too much into it.

It is work done, that's why money is coming to it. It's a professional contract. Just misusing a psychological contract is not on. It's immoral.

Will AI Take Your Job? Not so fast… We’re hearing a lot of noise about AI taking over the workforce. But a recent study from MIT shows it’s not happening as fast or as broadly as we might think. While some tasks can be automated, most aren’t cost-effective for companies to replace, yet. That gives you time to adapt, upskill, and stay ahead. In my latest newsletter, I break down what this research means for you, how to protect your role from automation, and why human skills still matter more than ever. ? Read it here! ? Question for you: Do you feel prepared for AI’s impact on your industry? ✅ Yes, I’m adapting already ? I’m not sure where to start ? Honestly?
