I hope the question makes sense as I am not too great at explaining things.
I have worked for 6+ years now in 3 different jobs; still in my 3rd job but looking to get out due to a restructure and also burnout due to being fed up of the role and also poor management. From my experience of working so far I find that although I can work, there's these underlying things that I will never understand i.e. Office Politics and such. As I used to do recruitment as well I am very aware of the fact that employers want you to fit a certain template as in, being the ideal employee who doesn't question anything if you get what I mean. If you aren't what they want or need they just get rid of you very slyly.
I don't know about other people, but for me personally as a creative person traditional jobs drain my energy and whenever I've tried to suggest ideas to improve a company (I.E. in my old job when looking for a deputy manager, I suggested adding incentives/benefits in the job ad to attract candidates and management shut that down) or create something to benefit the company (i.e. repographics) management has a go or they say we can't do X Y and Z.
I am now in the process of making an Etsy shop to sell art as I work full-time, starting as a side hustle (as I used to sell items online and enjoyed it) and hopefully turning it into a business. I find most of us tend to go self-employed or just don't bother working long because most jobs are just incompatible.
What do you think?
