| lol, so true. I'm living polyamor for about 5 years now. This has forced me to really dive into this whole "how do relationships really work" thing. More fluctuation, more partners etc. I learned so much. Suddendly, after a few years, I also found that "work" is like having "relationship". Sad thing is, I found most parallels with monogamous relationships and not so much with polyamory. Anyway, the biggest thing I learned was, that employers are like potential partners. They have some wishes about the job/relationship and these are (globally seen) completely arbitary. Some partners pick by attractiveness, some by child-wish, some by long-term support. Some even just by sexual preferences. But most of them by stuff they heard somewhere. They don't even know what they really want and end up in years of relationships with people they don't really like. Same goes with employers. They want you because you can solve some dumb puzzles or because you're cheap, or whatnot. Point is, if you're not in a hurry to get a job and are not bound to a place (or can work remote) you will eventually meet someone who thinks it's okay to give your money for your work, haha. |
