Jimmy wears a name tag
jimmy will never be taken seriously
I’ve met a few people lately dear reader who are of the middle aged / gen x persuasion and have lost jobs.
They’re worried about what’s next and how can they ‘fit in’ to today’s marketplace.

Don’t.
Get lean at home and go find a job with a name tag.
No one with a name tag truly has any responsibility.
Get yourself a name tag and find a way not to have your opinions, experience or wisdom be necessary or take seriously.
Become irrelevant at work.

No planning.
No marketing.
Get a name tag that frees you from the chains of busywork.
Leave it behind
