Is money your motivator?

She dreaded going to work every day and eventually she got fired. She thought it was the end of the world, but she ended up closer to home doing what she wanted to do making better money. She just hadn't found the right situation for her, but now she is on a good upward trajectory doing what she wants and enjoys her company.

With that said her first company was a very large company, while I work for a smaller company. I have found that for me, I will probably always work for small companies as I find the structure and situation is much more suited to how I like to work. I think that has a lot to do with how our "first job out of college" experiences turned out differently.

Totally agree on the smaller companies.

The one I was with before my current job had just gone public a year before I quit.  My boss at the time asked what I would do if something happened to my new boss (single owner).  I told him I'd worry about that if it happened.

Within two years the other place had sold out and closed the locations I worked at.

Here our owner died 12 years ago and the family kept it going.

I'd much rather have been here.
