      having a career talk with my boss after my skip level told him that his other direct reports wanted more career advice "so that seems like a good idea. i mean i never think about 'career plans' personally but that seems like something worth doing"

      am I right that people just lied to each other constantly about this in the past? might I trouble you for any historical context?

      Yes people lied to each other and to themselves. 30-40 yrs ago the model was you found your career company and you stayed there for life. This had some security but you were never honest about work-life ‘balance’ or your ‘passions.’ The power dynamics were so different

      hearing this . . . yeah. my folks are about ten years your senior and they were talking with their siblings about this at Thanksgiving a few years ago. I think about how in the 70s-80s everyone was just working all the time and your job was your Thing

      I imagine it must have been even moreso in earlier decades

      I think so. The first thing men at least were asked is ‘who do you work for?’ It defined them. I come from a long line of men who worked at DuPont. If any of them lost their job suicide was a risk. It didn’t even occur to them to find a better job an say f u to DuPont

      Huuh. My maternal grandfather was a chemical engineer. At one point as a child my mom came home and found out he wasnt working for (maybe DuPont?) anymore and she freaked out and started trying to think of ways to save the family money, like sewing her own clothes

      DuPont in that era was like Google. It was THE place to work and people acted like they were homeless if it didn’t work out. There was this weird vibe that you had to make it in the best corporate culture you could and there was something wrong with you if you didn’t.
