I don't understand completely what just happened to you.
But you will be in my prayers.
I just underwent partial layoffs mutliple times in the past four years, and it was stressful.
But you seem prepared, so good for you.
I started planning my escape a few years ago, and started working wekedns only at what use to be my fulltime job, and replaced it with aother fulltime job, which I thought had more longevity.
But jobs seem to lack longterm committments from employers, so they are also plagued by short timer syndrome employees.
Many compaies also treat the help badly, so they get what they deserve.
But you are just blowing off the whole job racket.
Good for you.
Isn't this the case. When people are only doing it for the money on offer, they will leave whenever there is a better offer.
Yes and no. It was a hard road before, which is why I went for a bit of security. Not sure if I will handle it as well now with more obligations on the table too.
Hopefully it works out well for you.
I like the possibility of working as a consultant for your old company.
Perhaps you can attain the best of both worlds, doing something you enjoy on terms you dictate.
I always hoped to achieve that with my job and I had it for two years after twelve years, but it's gone now.
So I am looking for the next good job opportunity.
