Before, I didn't pay any attention because we didn't have, you know, back in the heyday, everybody had a job. So less of that, right?

So many people on the job market, right? You're seeing the influx of these job postings and you're like, okay, how come there are so many job postings, especially in places like LinkedIn or Indeed or Dice or whatever it is, so many job postings and so many people are saying they can't find jobs.

going from six months, you know, like, you know, from, from three to six months before they find a job, like getting an interview is harder than it's ever been. Like, I'm like, something is not making sense here. What are all these job postings? And I started seeing the pattern repeating over and over and over again. Then I'm like, um, something doesn't add up here.

You are not a priority, my friend. You are a cog in the machine. And that's okay too. That's the thing. Like we all, I think in this market, we've all accepted that it is what it is.

As a cog, don't be a douche. Don't go in, you know, walking in. You know what I mean? This was a huge mistake. This was a huge mistake. I told you, mofos, not to do what you did, but you did it. Now you're going to pay the price. I was indispensable. Don't be that guy. Don't be that guy or gal. Again, this is not... This is not about them, right?

And I keep throwing that term around, and it's one that takes your heart greatly, like being a professional, right? There's a way a professional carries themselves. There's a way a professional does things, right? You're a professional, you get paid for money. Hopefully, you love what you do to get paid that money, right? But as a professional, you are always a professional.
