How to Hire and Fire Your Employer
summary
Work time consumes about 34% of awake hours and the talk gives concrete tactics: inventory hard/soft assets, name five nonnegotiable values, use Plan A/B/Z for career moves and a simple worst-case risk test, recognize three burnout types (overload, under‑challenge, neglect), negotiate salary before resigning, and follow notice/transition protocols. Practical tools include Glassdoor, drupal.org jobs, COBRA’s retroactive grace, and an open-source Google Sheet (Joel Khalifa) to score and compare offers.
