I could make more elsewhere, but recently I went through a little personal crisis, had to take some days off from the JOB. Letting them know what was up. I got back, and got no static. In fact on my 1st day the CEO drops by my office.

"We're glad you're back, you we're missed, you're important here."
"If there's anything I can do, personal or not, let me know and I will, and be glad to do it."

Shit.

MY CFO is a woman, COO is a woman, CFO is a Black-man. I'm feeling very seen and safe, and I honestly never have in a career. That might be work that extra 10% of pay.

I've never made a career decision that didn't come down to money. It's kinda of nice, and kinda weird.

Shit.
