Plus, people quit and get fired, all the time.

In one sense, there's no point in getting attached to them, because they, like you and me and all of us, are expendable cogs in a capitalist machine.

On the other hand, those networks of "work friends" do tend to get each other jobs when they quit or get fired, so there's some value in making those connections if you plan to stay in the business.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
