I feel the same, ever since starting Emperor (this is my second cycle now) my thoughts on my job has changed.
Before Emperor my thoughts were “this job is kind of fun, I like the people, it’s good money for now I guess”
To now on Emperor “i don’t want to work there anymore, I don’t want to be here, what’s the point in working here?”
On Emperor i no longer care if the job is fun or not and if I like the people or not, also what does it mean “good money for now”? What is now? Until when this money will be good for me?
The answer is that it’s not good enough, not now, not ever.
All I know is that I’m done with that job, time to build my own empire.
