I'm about ready to make my every 4 year switch...switching from a house job at a country club (sometimes it's an upscale restaurant) to a place with "regular" people in it.
I'm the "society guy", and what I've observed is that the really well-heeled folks are fine...pleasant to work for. It's the wannabee's that are the pains in the ass. I'm part of the local financial services business community and I know the net worth of the long-timers. I have a contest to see which ones will have their credit cards declined.The "new money" folks are constantly showing their asses.
I have enough and move on for awhile.
Same thing in the academic world. Politics on college campuses are rougher and more damaging than in Corporate America. I'll teach a couple of years, but leave completely disgusted that the kids are, unfortunately, dead last in many cases.
The older I get, the less tolerant I am of obnoxious "full of myself" dumb-asses.
When make me think: where the hell will I find a job in a year or two from mow? (LOL)!
