It is amazing how quickly things went down in the rat race. Corporate America become a total cesspool, kind of a real live Facebook. Everything is slander, attacks, PC, and me me me.
To me, it looked like everyone turned into a politician, blaming everyone else for their problems. Nothing was ever their fault and the "pass the blame" because an art form.

That is so true. It crazy to see how people doesn't seem to be capable of owning their mistakes and faults nowadays. There's always someone else to blame for everything.

Perhaps that is why we are heading more towards the stupid age.
Mistakes are how we learn and if we never make them, at least in our minds, no need to adapt and grow. Simply just keep doing what we are doing expecting the rest of the world to change.

That is probably true. That along with all of this instant-gratifications are making people dumb.

Corporate India is very much inspired by Corporate America, especially the IT industry. Apart from facing the labor abuse from our employer we used to deal with the local office politics.
Most of the people were driving solo instead of being a team player. Selfish and envious! Saving their own asses everytime and passing the pressure down the hierarchy. I feel it's quite similar everywhere.

Yep, that sounds about the same. You could pick those people up and drop them here (or vice versa) and they would fit in no prolem.
How did you get out of it? Do you freelance?

It's complicated @taskmaster4450le. :P I have tried many things since I left the corporate world. During the last year of my job, I started an e-commerce business with a buddy of mine. We sold a shit ton of products in two years and then parted ways. While doing it I acquired two skills -
For the next one year I did different jobs in the same domains i.e e-commerce and marketing. I used to design e-commerce stores (on a tool called Shopify) for other entrepreneurs and ran paid marketing campaigns for many of them.
Currently, I run a small social media marketing agency wherein we run sponsored ads for our clients to generate leads for them. We also help a few of them with media creation (Infographics, posters, social media posts, invitation cards, short marketing videos, etc.) for organic marketing. Being a design enthusiast myself, I try to do small projects independently as well. So I am a part-time freelancer too. This helped me during the initial covid times when suddenly all of my clients halted their business for a few months.
Personally, I like to hop on from one thing to another, just to have a variety of experiences. Hive is a great place for generalists like myself. You can basically explore many things at once!!!
