âJob securityâ is right up there with âjumbo shrimpââŚ
Sounds clever.
Means nothing.
Itâs the bedtime story they tell the mule before they shoot it behind the barn.
You think youâre safe because you still get a paycheck?
Thatâs cute.
You're not secure â youâre just next.
Theyâre still squeezing value out of you.
Still smiling while you clock in early and stay late.
Still tossing you âculture bonusesâ and pizza parties
So you donât notice the trap door being built right under your feet.
And while theyâre quietly cutting costs?
Youâre fantasizing about âretirement.â
Letâs break that down:
đ¨RETIRED:
You know where else they use that word?
Tires.
Tech.
Weapons.
Anything thatâs been shelved. Discontinued. No longer useful.
Ummmm- Is THAT your plan?
To give âthemâ the best years of your lifeâŚ
so YOU can one day be considered obsolete â on purpose?
How have you never looked at how fucking ridiculous that really is?
And if it hasnât happened to you yet?
Just wait.
Theyâre polishing your pink slip like itâs a crystal trophy for âMost Loyal Mule.â
You KNOW - One day itâs:
âWeâre restructuring.â
âYouâve been great, butâŚâ
âItâs not personal.â
Yes it is fuckers!
YOU built their kingdom.
Now youâre just disposable.
All just for what exactly?!?!
LookâŚ. Youâve got two options:
đ Keep pretending your title will protect you
and keep polishing the cageâŚ
Or â
đĽ Burn the illusion
and build the only thing thatâs actually secure:
Skills. Leverage. Ownership.
But letâs be real:
Success requires sacrifice.
PICK 2 - ONLY 2.
You donât get to keep all 3:
đ TIME
đ MONEY
đ COMFORT
Pick two.
Burn the third.
Want to go slow?
Pay in time...Time you donât have.
Want to go fast?
Pay in money to learn the skills you need...
But comfort?
Comfort is the drug.
Its how they keep you tame, grateful,
and too tired to want more.
Good Mule.
See you Monday.
And if youâve already been fired?
Good!
That was your wake-up call.
Your permission slip.
Your bolt cutters.
NOW you get to turn into a racehorse.
OrâŚ
complain and graze in the desertâŚ
đ So now Iâll ask you â and answer honestly:
đWhat are you willing to give up to finally be free?đ
And
if your answer is still ânothingââŚ
Cool.
Theyâll take everything for you.
