  • I feel like a lot of corporate bullshit is designed to exploit young and/or naive people. In my early 20s I happily worked until 10pm on projects in the office.

    Late 20s I’d become a (junior) company director and helped hire people*.

    After that I studied contracts with a fine-comb. Refused to sign for a surface-level great job with DRP Group cos they expected me to sign a contract without seeing the company employment manual.

    It’s why companies prefer employing younger people. They often don’t know their rights. They won’t know about thins like employment tribunals.

    After people have been company directors or freelance they often don’t want to go back into employment. There’s a reason for that - they know it’s a shit deal!

    *The older director ‘coached’ me to look for younger employees (easily manipulated) and not women in their late-20s to early-30s. Because we “didn’t want to have to deal with maternity”. Is it sexist and ageist? Of course it is, but how’re you gonna prove it?
