Edit: getting a lot of flak for length of post in the comments, so here’s the tldr: I enjoy my job as a data professional. There are things I like about being a manager, but I am getting those opportunities without having to be a manager. I don’t want to be doing verbal gymnastics all day. Edit: redacted original posting - I may after all be writing a book :D

Honestly, how long did it take you to finish the post?
I spent about an hour this morning. I used to write in school and college, won prizes too. But over the last decade I’ve written mostly dry emails at work.
Wow. Screw all this of being manager etc. looks like your true passion is writing ✍️ focus on that. Publish a book. Follow your passion
TIL Blind’s character limit is pretty large.
Lol. Oh what a bummer, it sounds like no one wants to read it. Clearly, I should have edited before posting :)
Yeah sorry about that. It’s just a little too long.
It's like an Indian William Faulkner, if William Faulkner couldn't write.
Ouch
I also find writing can be cathartic. Re: the point about managerial titles being respected/expected - it varies. I wouldn't say I grew up thinking one must be a manager to be more successful on their career path. Family cared I went to college and got a job - that's it.
Thank you for the thoughts. I was just going to pull this post down :)
Don't - anonymity emboldens people. I found the tangents made me smile.

No one's reading this shit, give us a tl;dr.
With all due respect, it does not matter if a lot of people read this. Writing it was cathartic for me. I am not offending or hurting anyone by posting here. In case you didn’t read - I also added a warning that it’s a long post.
If you don’t care if anyone will read it you shouldn’t post it
