Myself I am experiencing the job effects of health insecurity, which I would posit are much worse.
- sickguy 7y agoSame. It’s way worse... I basically have to be ready to leave my job at any time if it starts to get bad enough.
- jvagner 7y agoSorry to hear that, but you're right. Add the two together, and boom. Worst case scenario.
- code_duck 7y agoI’ve lost my ability to work and gotten reestablished twice in the last three years. For about 4 months now I have felt ready to work again, but where do you go from there? It’s not like you can just hop in and start doing it. I’ve lost my professional skills, my contacts, my clients, my workspace. Still working around feeling ill 40% of the time.
- jvagner 7y agoGetting re-re-re-established undoubtedly seems daunting. You've explored remote/contracting?
- code_duck 7y agoI’m actually trying to get reestablished as a glassblower. It’s low pressure and I can take days off as I see fit. I don’t feel right taking on the responsibility of doing tech jobs for anyone. Unfortunately it’s very difficult for me to share spaces with anyone, but at the same time, getting my own place could be a bad choice. If my health goes wrong again, moving out is a lot of effort and expense. I have had a couple promising tech projects over the past few years, but lost momentum and had to abandon them at various times.
