Joining a workers cooperative. That has been the best thing I could have done feeling as I was feeling about programming jobs.

I realized I disliked the way that job market works. Too much stress; clients and bosses putting too much pressure on my daily work; lots of stupid tasks to be finished ASAP...

At the end several friends of mine and me created a workers cooperative for doing programming jobs. We share projects and decide which ones we want to take. There is not that overwhelming duty of finding new clients as there is one person who does the research and business actions.

Everyone does what they want and we mainly focus on jobs we like and the way we prefer.
