Q: What have you been doing since you were at XYZ?
A: I took a year off.
I don't think it's really that bad. People do that. It's not like you're going to be looking for a job on Mars, when you come back you'll call your friends (who by then have found jobs or started new companies) and through them you will find plenty of opportunity.
Those places where you're a cog - you probably don't want to work there anyways.
We need to rewire these workplaces. If they want cogs don't work there and let them know why.
