I don’t remember a specific age the transition happened, or if I ever actually believed it, but I remember my family getting a PS3 one year for Christmas “from Santa”. Sometime in the Summer, I was in the car while my mom was on the phone talking about the PS3 she got for us needing a repair or something. Again it wasn’t that I believed in Santa at that point, it just became a core memory of “Oh you lied about that”
Do you have any attachment to your employer beyond that? As in, would you consider him a friend, that if the situation called for one of you to move away, or otherwise end in the job no longer being available, you would be saddened by not being around him?
How do others treat you in his home? His significant other or any family members for example.
Do you have shifts that you have to work, and free time to yourself, or are you always “on the clock” so to speak? How do holidays work?
