Killing Motivation #9: Constant Unneccesary Internal Roadblocks

So it finally happened. I know it had to happen eventually. It was only a matter of time.

What I am referring to is the license blockade.

Do you have a tool that is fundamental to your job? This tool helps you be successful? This tool helps you make a strong and successful product?

Someone, somewhere, eventually will get wind of this success and try to stop you.

Today it was someone from a part of the world known for resume falsification, certification falsification, and generally getting other smarter people to write your exams, telling me that I cannot renew my license because of x, y, or z.

Ignore x, or y, or z, its legal crap. The real reason is that they are attempting to stop your success, motivation, and happiness. Insert relevant Dilbert cartoon here. Motivation and happiness does not equate to shareholder value.

Ignore the fact that I have been using this tool for years. Had it renewed many times.

So, what happens now. Will this be the last straw for me?
