If you feel instinctively defensive whenever your employer gets criticized, maybe your identity is too attached to your employer.
You can work for someone with integrity and a sense of ownership without submitting your self-worth to your employer.
If you choose to wear clothes embroidered with your employer's logo on your days off, you should probably reconsider that choice. Unless you're an athlete in a team sport, that kind of employer loyalty doesn't benefit you.

I'm not a fan of FIRE, mainly because of its distinct bimodal approach towards life: the deferring phase, and then the living phase.
First of all, I believe that the discovery of our true preferences is a life-long exercise, and the most reliable way to reveal our preferences is to live them.
Everyone I know who retired after a grueling career went into retirement unprepared, and their life went downhill fast. The "Always Be Compounding" attitude during the deferring phase gets in the way of exercising the muscle that leads to discovering what we truly like & dislike.
Mineral wool turned out to be a lot more annoying to work with than fiberglass, but it is supposedly better for sound absorption and that’s my main concern.
Why you probably should discount your prices for Black Friday:
Last year, my digital products sold over $28,000 during the Black Friday period.
This month, I'm already over $30,000, and the peak is yet to come.
Here's everything I learned about Black Friday and discounts in general:
