Bang on. I saw the Indeed proposition, and was aghast not just at its crass assumptions, but that somebody with "senior" in their title sanctioned it. A senior moment Indeed.
To your core point: There is a point when discussing resilience when we talk about the fact that nobody is coming to rescue us. Not some self development book, recycled from other self development books, based on the perspective on "winners" in a different time and place, and which ignore the basic correlation that that most effective path to success (as winners determine it) is to select wealthy, well connected parents and ride the wave.
In my post today, I found myself channeling David Graeber and others of piratical, heretical, poacher, and trespasser persuasions, who exhibit so many artisanal characteristics, and have featured prominently in periods of social change.
Our age is irrelevant - what matters is where we position ourselves given what we have learned, what we are noticing, what we want to learn and combine it with a determination to help others. Take this perspective, and you're just getting started ;-)
I'm hosting a Zoom call on 17th to explore this space - would be great to see you.
I have a real appetite for plunder when it comes to Indeed.......
I saw your post earlier. I've been pushing people to be more pirate since I saw Sam Conniff speak when the book came out. There's much to learn from how they changed society, a story that the establishment has tried to write out of history many times. Change always comes from the margins, from those 'outside the walls', so to speak!

Silly season clearly is in full swing and here to stay as PwC's RTO mandate would suggest.
News of my decline, according to Indeed, is greatly exaggerated because I am only just getting started.
Totally with you. On both counts!
