**CW:** This episode gets HEAVY. Suicidal ideation, a recent death in the family, incarceration, food insecurity, homelessness, and substance use as a coping mechanism.
Sarah started us off with memento mori, and it went about how you would expect with us.
In this episode, we talked a lot about knowing when to leave a job, and it turns out we are a study in opposites. Sarah has left every job she has ever had and has never once been fired or laid off. Ash does his best to never leave anything without having the next thing lined up.
Thus enters the "fuck you fund", survivorship bias, and what it means to be truly hungry. We talk about the skills involved in staying at a gig that nobody ever seems to write about, and we talk about the signs that it is time to go: bonus structures that keep getting rewritten, paychecks that slip, and enforced siloing.
Then we get all soppy about parenthood, and Ash cries on tape. Sorry about that.
Feels Herders is Ash Rhodes and Sarah Betts talking about support, leadership, and feelings. Tangents are the brand. The ENTIRE brand.
