Sold time. That is all that employment is.
You agree terms for selling your time to someone. They agree to pay you a certain amount in return for your time and skills, and in return you sell them a certain amount of your time, lets say six months for a contract, or maybe it’s perpetual in terms of employment, with annual reviews, maybe.
Yet after the initial negotiations and contract agreement, and after you’ve settled in, you start getting a little bored. There’s not enough holidays. Maybe you feel another sick day coming on. You start to hate the fact that you have to get up and go to work.
The thing is, it all just comes down to the fact that you sold your time and now you are having second thoughts, or maybe you want to renegotiate, or maybe you want out of the agreement altogether.
Life is too short to keep working at a job you don’t like. Sell your time to someone else or maybe even take a break. Sell some time back to yourself. Give notice and find someone else who would like to pay for your time, doing something you will enjoy.
We only have so much time to sell, so sell your time wisely.
