"Be careful what you wish for," they say. After running a business for over three decades, I’m finally taking that advice to heart. For years, I’ve been the rock—the one who stayed put through the complaints, the threats to quit, and the walk-outs. I’m often amazed at how some people manage to pay their bills when they seem to have unlimited time to complain! Well, now it’s my turn to do the walking.
The current situation with DHS is, to put it mildly, a mess. They are tearing up the system, and I have zero desire to stick around for the fallout.
I’ve decided to seek a life that offers more meaning than just being the person everyone vents to.The DHS changes—supposedly "just until June"—are the final straw. I am officially done with the endless rules, the regulations, the office politics, and the clients who seem to think businesses run on good vibes rather than revenue. Everyone wants a deal, but "deals" don't meet payroll.
Ultimately, you have to decide who you’re going to please: your staff, your clients, or yourself. For thirty years, I put myself last. Not anymore. I’m starting a new chapter and leaving the chaos for someone else to figure out. If serving as a sounding board is my unofficial job, I should really start charging a consultation fee.
