I've always felt a bit guilty for not telling potential new mentors about this problem. Seems like the socially responsible thing to do would be to warn new mentors that there is no way out.

The more we assimila--uhm, I mean recruit, the more we can evenly spread out the workload on the team. We wouldn't want to give them the option to leave. They might actually take it.

I want more kids to have the same epiphany I had.
