Jon's Job Blog is a personal reflection on several years of corporate work, written during a career transition. It reflects my own experiences and opinions, not established fact about any company or person.
I wrote it from my own notes and used Claude, an AI assistant, as an editor for clarity and tone.
I'm sharing it because the patterns are worth talking about, and because I'd rather tell my own story. These patterns aren't unique to one company, and most people who have worked inside a large organization will recognize some of them. Whether you're going through a transition of your own or just trying to make sense of where you work, I hope something here helps.
