NOT A DRILL I JUST GOT SHITCANNED

listen; now is the time to get the fun in. after a few weeks the creeping dread starts to compete for your time, but right now you could put a good thirty to forty hours of gaming time in and not even feel stressed about it

That sucks. It’s always better to be the one taking the initiative.

Did you have any, uh, “leverage” left over at the company? Or is their main rude awakening just going to be loss of convenience and performance?

Oh yeah I think that was your post that you were predicting getting laid off. Congratulations, I think. Spend your new free time well, enjoy.

The only thing that sucks rn is my partner is spiraling from stress, they were on my health insurance. I’m squeezing in one last therapist visit today, and my partner is scrambling to get shit refilled.

Tbh, employment that you’re in full control of is better.

A zero-hour contract sounds bad, but I have a part-time job with 0 scheduled hours, amd coworkers that often want to trade in shifts, and those are frequent enough that I can have my choice of shifts, and still cover my expenses with a rather low frequency.

The work itself is not particularly enjoyable, but the aspect of it being fully under my control makes it my best job ever on that metric.

I’ll be fucked on money for a bit but I’m gonna see if my local bar can have me for a few shifts or something while I go through the interview process.
