Oh man, I feel you on the work front - to the point I wondered if we worked at the same company. It makes me wonder if things are just getting tighter all over, we're supposed to be in this boom time, but I see more and more companies are playing closer and closer to the chest. It's like they know their not supposed to, and they pretend they aren't, but they do it anyway. Pretty crazy. On the study bible, I've recently started going through these videos and It's been a really fascinating education. If you're looking for a supplement, that's a good one.
The scary thing is, I don't know about your profession, in my profession it's like that almost everywhere now. I could jump from this sinking ship, but chances are any ship I jump onto is also sinking. Also, maybe on fire. So as long as I'm getting paid well, I'm gonna ride it out. That Youtube channel looks pretty cool. Were there any videos that stood out to you in particular?
I think everywhere is like this. I remember lamenting some projects that have been on the backburner for awhile and you were like "how are you able to get away with that?" and my answer was a shrug and "you put out the fire that will blow up in your face the worst first, then try to work your way back." When you are working on what could be generously called a skeleton crew when you are fully staffed and you are two people down, you just try not to drown while you watch the vultures circle.
I'm in tech and ecommerce. I'm a little obsessive so I watch full playlists. I started with the old testament playlist which explains the books from a very high level, which is very different then how they've been explained to me in the past.
