You had me! Lol but on a more serious note, this is a great read and excellent reflection exercise for anyone contemplating leaving (to visualize what going back to a 9-5 would look like).

You got me! Great storytelling.. I was hooked in to every sentence. This reminds me of a Jordan Peterson exercise where you write out your worst and best case scenario so you lucidly understand the stakes.. Would be cool to see another fictional essay that’s the opposite of this. What’s the absolute best case?
