I feel sad reading that you're "walking that path", and losing your passion<br /><br />It's not that I suddenly realised what had happened and then quit, for me this has been a slow and gradual process that took a few years in which I tried, and tried again<br /><br />But I realised I was losing the passion for my job - that's basically it in a nutshell<br /><br />There's always an alternative - try that first ;-)Martijn Linssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573419401627232560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081361780079434787.post-92151376529764069722010-05-30T21:03:29.161+02:002010-05-30T21:03:29.161+02:00Dear Martijn, you're one of the most interesti...Dear Martijn, you're one of the most interesting people (if not the) I'm following on Twitter. I completely agree with you, I'm living the sad passage from Intimacy to Anonimity in the firm where I'm working since 2002. I can't realize that this was the problem until I have read this post.<br />I lived the passage to our small familiar reality (with all the related good and bad things) to a multinational reality where the single at the bottom of the working pyramid is related to the top through a chain of people who neither know each other. <br />I'm losing the passion I've ever had for my job, and this make me sad.<br />I think asap I'll become self-employed too!<br />; )<br />Maura [@Bpossum]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081361780079434787.post-42675658603437566642010-05-28T22:30:06.666+02:002010-05-28T22:30:06.666+02:00Thank you Tim!
