#Fire or force VSP the meatball. The 5geeeeee brozooo….The guy was a fraud fired from Ericsson !

After 3 years and an abusive team lead, I knew I couldn’t spend 40 years here pretending people weren’t id–ts or worse for a pay check, so I started working on an early retirement plan. Save, invest, retire early. I did. #fire Jump ship if the opportunity presents.

Are you happy you spent 40 years at EM? Doesn’t it feel wrong to put in 40 years to get 10-20 years of retirement? Shouldn’t it be the reverse? #fire

Life is short. I’m going to work 20 years and enjoy 35+ years of retirement. #fire

I learned living below my means has perks...like early retirement. #fire

Or invest in FAANG and retire early. #fire

I am glad to hear I am not alone. Best of luck on your #fire journey.

Agreed with what you’ve said, and am in relatively the same position, EXCEPT for the workload. Although I don’t find most of the work intellectually difficult/challenging, I’m constantly struggling to keep my head above water, the work is continually piled on, and I feel like I can never ever take a true vacation or weekend without getting so swamped that the time off wasn’t worth it.

I’m curious about what your academic background is and what your current function is. If I make it through these coming layoffs, I’d love to know where in the company I could go to eventually that had actual work-life balance.

Only a couple of years with the company, joined after grad school, in my 30s.

I have found the salary to be higher than my grad school colleagues, generous PTO/vacation, and the work extremely easy. Before anyone hates I have mentioned this to my superiors from my second week here. But I have been told to "believe in the system" and that "XOM has my best, long-term interests in mind" so after several years of mentioning this I have given up and put my focus on my family, where it belongs.

So I too do not like the company but at the end of the day, I am just looking to sell my time at the highest rate I can find for the shortest amount of time.

Why will I (probably) stay? Overpaid (IMO compared to the value my roles provide) and easy work allows me to invest in passive income assets. However, I regularly apply to jobs to see my current market value.

@qzz nailed it #fire

Live below my means and retire early. #fire The money isn’t worth it.

No way am I working 30+ years. 20 years then kicking back and enjoying life. #fire
