>>7778799I was pretty much a delinquent when I was younger (high school and Univ). I flunked my classes, was part of a gang, my ex and I were a bunch of coomers....
...Then one day, thanks be to God, I turned my life around. I finished my studies, became an engineer, landed a good position in corp, saved a bunch of money.
But, I noticed something... probably 80% of people are useless morons (especially in management) who are wasting time... and when you prove yourself to be a dependable person, then your superiors delegate more tasks and jobs to you as you're the only one who gets things done. it was exhausting.
So I resigned, managed the family farm and other businesses here out in the sticks. Was having a good old time too just walking around the countryside, managing the farm, trading and doing business until the general manager of a local cooperative approached me for help.
He was getting on with years and wanted to pass on the managership to me, citing my managerial and business experience. He said that he couldn't do it anymore and none of the members are qualified to lead the cooperative to progress.
He's a good God-fearing man who always looks after the members of the cooperative but is rapidly becoming deaf. it was impossible to say no for me.
When I did accept the job, I found out what he meant. the employees of this cooperative are just like those in my old corporate position but 5x worse, lacking sophistication, manners, know-how that you usually get from large corporate professionals. So here I am stuck trying to fix a cooperative I didn't even start, with employees who can't even write a proper letter, and with a salary not even half of what I got in corporate. But I can't abandon it because everyone's looking at me for hope in making it survive.
And top it all off, now I can't even enjoy the free farm life that I left the corporate world for.
I know it sounds like whining from a privileged guy but there you go. those are my feels.
