Left and not coming back  

I'm kinda in the same boat.

I see myself looking at the door right now.  I keep telling myself 2 more years.  Just 2 more and I'm gonna go find something else....  Closer to home and less stress/ road rage.

Made 100k for the second time ever in my life this year, w/zero ot.  But it's sad it took this long.  24 years with a company, hitting milestones, and I'm not even a pilot.  Line avionics. 

That's right, I'm the gonna retire at 50 guy.  2 more years bitches.

They pump min wage up, keep pumping it up and now a 100k job is chicken feed again.  When I'm paying $16 dollars everytime I want a burger at a crap food res.   Don't even think about going buy a new truck right now unless you wanna pay 80 grand.

I reflect on the $#!t I know, degrees I hold, systems knowledge gained over the years since I was a wee lad, 1993 in the AF wrenching on heavy iron....peers can't even hold a candle or even fathom what I worked on/with, done, fixed.

All that thought process runs though my head and I keep telling myself, bro it's good to be underemployed at a menial job, it means you can drop the nastiest don't give a Fk emails telling folks above and below you just where they can get off, because they are always wrong and I'm always right.  Time and time again.  They know it.  I know it.  Everyone knows it.  But yet, I'm sure the IT chick with just 2 years at the company is also probably making 100k.  Where's the justice?  There is no justice in the world we live in.

Aviation is not what it used to be anymore.  There's no prestige, not when an Only Fans chick can out wage you by millions in just a single year. 

Not sure where to go or what to do after this, but it probably won't be working on helicopters.

Might hire me some asian underaged sex workers and open up an underground brothel for the Epstein types.  Seems like a good business plan.  Maybe a dispensary.  Maybe both.
