there is no shame in the exit. the exit is the plan.

They will tell you to hold. They will call you weak for leaving. Let them hold. You have a bus to catch, a profit to take, and absolutely no intention of finding out what happens next. The door was always right there. You simply used it.

The art of folding

three lessons, learned at the first sign of trouble

i

Sell early

The first sign of trouble is also the last sign you will ever need. Honour it. Pack your things.

ii

Sell often

A position you no longer hold cannot keep you awake at night. Repetition builds the reflex.

iii

Never look back

Whatever it did after you left is frankly none of your business. Avert your eyes and keep walking.
