Yes, yes and yes. Not forgetting the politics which I absolutely abhorred and hence I never was considered for many promotions. At least I could hold my head up when I left the office each evening and my nose didnt have brown smelly stuff on the end.
The end of corporate life for me was when I was made redundant in 2014 and couldnt find another job (too experienced!). I had an interview with Santander in London and at the end you ask questions about the company and the role. I asked what the next steps were and the interviewer said that they had already offered on the role. Well thanks for that after I had wasted a day and paid £120 rail fare. That shut the door on corporate bill hooks for ever. I'm now a self employed gardener and whilst it has its challenges (like the bloody torrents of rain falling out of the sky at this very moment) , I wouldnt swap it for corporate life for all the tea in China.
My obituary to corporate life......may it not rest in peace!
