It’s Dec 31 here, 2024 is over. I thought I’d link to a post I made in March: > [@(Old) Funny things you overheard in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-funny-things-you-overheard-in-the-mmp/998974/95): > > I have often heard stories of people leaving a terrible oppressive, potentially harmful job, then they end their tale with how they found a new job very quickly, it suits them way better, and it pays more. That’s never happened to me. Until today…? Well, too early to say if it’s going to be a good working experience yet, but I got a call yesterday for an interview, had the interview today, then twenty minutes after it concluded they offered me the job, for $15k more than my previous. Only dra… Because that new job turned out to be great! It’s a much nicer workplace, with a much more easier-going approach. They give me time and space to get my work done, they are accommodating about learning new skills, forgiving for when I make mistakes, and they are complimentary when I do good work. It’s a welcome breath of fresh air compared to my last oppressive nightmare of a job. 2025 should be more of the same, as it’s a very repetitive kind of job, but right now I am happy to be a simple cog in a complex machine, as it gives me some reassurance about my future. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-an-air-of-finality-in-the-last-2024-mmp/1012335)._
