“Job security” is right up there with “jumbo shrimp”… Sounds clever. Means nothing. It’s the bedtime story they tell the mule before they shoot it behind the barn. You think you’re safe because you still get a paycheck? That’s cute. You're not secure — you’re just next. They’re still squeezing value out of you. Still smiling while you clock in early and stay late. Still tossing you “culture bonuses” and pizza parties So you don’t notice the trap door being built right under your feet. And while they’re quietly cutting costs? You’re fantasizing about “retirement.” Let’s break that down: 🚨RETIRED: You know where else they use that word? Tires. Tech. Weapons. Anything that’s been shelved. Discontinued. No longer useful. Ummmm- Is THAT your plan? To give “them” the best years of your life… so YOU can one day be considered obsolete — on purpose? How have you never looked at how fucking ridiculous that really is? And if it hasn’t happened to you yet? Just wait. They’re polishing your pink slip like it’s a crystal trophy for ‘Most Loyal Mule.’ You KNOW - One day it’s: “We’re restructuring.” “You’ve been great, but…” “It’s not personal.” Yes it is fuckers! YOU built their kingdom. Now you’re just disposable. All just for what exactly?!?! Look…. You’ve got two options: 🔒 Keep pretending your title will protect you and keep polishing the cage… Or — 🔥 Burn the illusion and build the only thing that’s actually secure: Skills. Leverage. Ownership. But let’s be real: Success requires sacrifice. PICK 2 - ONLY 2. You don’t get to keep all 3: 💀 TIME 💀 MONEY 💀 COMFORT Pick two. Burn the third. Want to go slow? Pay in time...Time you don’t have. Want to go fast? Pay in money to learn the skills you need... But comfort? Comfort is the drug. Its how they keep you tame, grateful, and too tired to want more. Good Mule. See you Monday. And if you’ve already been fired? Good! That was your wake-up call. Your permission slip. Your bolt cutters. NOW you get to turn into a racehorse.
