I’m a professional, so its ‘At Will’ employment. tey can dump you on the spot, but, for some odd reason you are supposed to give them a month’s, even two month’s, notice- or they won’t give you a good reference?
(Who wants THEIR reference. Yuck!) What I do is very important, at least I thought so until a colleague came by and reminded me, “Just because you are indispensible does not mean that you are important.” I discovered why a colleague of mine left a very prestigious, but not well paying, position at a very high rated college; He was wanted and respected, but not really needed. Its like that all over the place. My colleague still had some juice left and joined a pharmaceutical company where he helped develop a very important treatment for a rare disease. They pay him well. There are a few others like him. No one really makes anything about who they are, but they are needed. the place is crawling with people like them. Same at CERN. The ost brilliant, Martian brained geniuses in math, physics, chemistry and types of philosophy work in a rarified atmosphere whre they must speak almost perfect English, dress in clean room overalls, live in bunker-like conditions, roam among machines, wires, super magnets, high tension electricity, noise, glowing substances, shining and rare alloys, radioactive substances and an ample number of socker balls, hackie-sackies, roller blade shoes, golf balls and (saucers?). Computer terminals are everywhere. and there are women. Plenty of them. All serious and no-nonsense physicists, astrophysicists and M-theorists. Most og there by quitting suckoid jobs and joining up. Most don’t get paid much, but fed and housed quite well, thank you. Reminds of folks like Richard Alpert, Timothy Leary, John C, Lilly, Linus Pauling, Wilhelm Reich, Muni Sushuiel Kumarji(physicist and discoverer of why quarks are always in pairs- and first Hindu priest in Indian Parlaiment) and Yehudi Menuhin (world reknown violinist). they Grokked it and set themselves free. I guess that oughta do it.
