      It’s crazy to think of all the possibilities. I won’t have any less desire to do my job than I currently do, maybe even more because the other external parties we interact will also have their profit motives reduced or eliminated.

      I’m fortunate I work in a career that’s partially aligned with my passions and interests. It’s also a privately owned company where the owner I work closest with makes decisions by asking the staff “will this make things better for our customers?” Followed by “will we make a little bit of profit?” which I interpret as can we keep the business running and make sure we can take care of our employees and colleagues? If we answer yes to those we’re running the projects we pitch him. He cares about the right things, not making more money for himself.
