    Being emotionally detached from really stupid leadership decisions is harder than it seems

      Took me a lot of years to not think it’s my company that is being run into the ground. I should not - and nowadays could not - care any less.

        my company

        You mean “my responsibility”, right?

      The book The Responsibility Virus helped me a lot with this. Most people are over-responsible for the choices of others, specifically ones they can’t reasonably influence, anyway.

        I found out that https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-or-the-office-according-to-the-office/ explains a lot of the dysfunctions that one finds in an office / corporate environment.

      I stopped giving a shit a long time ago. I do my best to consult and warn and if they don’t listen it’s not my problem.

      I’m determined to ever only work in public, state-owned companies. I believe in a causal connection between being a private, profit-oriented business and the daily “wtf” moments, the only true measure of quality.

      Edit: fixed the link.
