I now work part-time for a forward-thinking company. This helps me incorporate my
knowledge and experiences in all areas directly into my work. When I’m not there the
freelancer responsible for social media uses the desk, which would otherwise remain empty
two days a week.
I no longer feel that I am the property of a company, and it is possible that as a result I have
the space to no longer be possessive. In the end I don’t have to “ransom” myself. Maybe this
backlash against turbo-capitalism really is the beginning of a new period, in which
“egomaniacal owning” yields to “collaborative sharing.”
