Ed, I think you've been more blessed in your career of choice than most people I know. Especially if you are at retirement age and only your last employer was ****. I suspect that this is because of the size of the companies you've worked for or with, but that's an assumption and we know what those do.
I've never worked for a company that wasn't in the fortune 1000. I've been working around computers as a coder for 33 years after 8 years in the Navy. After all this time in corporate America I still lament what the shipboard structure and chain of command provided. But I've had to interview for a job I already had in a merger, watched the ebb and flow of internal employees versus consultants/managed services. See normal individual contributors turn into napoleon when advanced to managers. Watched ageism disguised as skill progression. And come to this conclusion. Pragmatist, pessimist or optimist they're all situational and on the same scale.
My parting statement from someone who's summer vacations in the late 7os included a dirt floor summer kitchen, a dog trot house with newspaper in the walls(with the mice) and a snuff using granny that lived to 102.
It isn't happy people that are thankful, it's thankful people that are happy.
the best definition of success is contentedness, not comparison.
