Who Moved My Cheese is a short read/listen (I listened to it on Libby) that discusses the reality that things are always changing, and we sometimes need to adapt – for instance if our job is no longer needed. Reflecting on my own life, I’ve gone through a handful of job changes. A few of them were not my choosing:
- my employer moved engineering from Ohio to Texas, and I decided not to go
- my employer unexpectedly went out of business and I had a job one day, and none the next.
In both of the above cases, it was uncomfortable to deal with, but every job change has been for the better. With #2, that was the start of my consulting/freelancing career – 17 years ago now.
