I’m not even 40, though close to it, and I’m already here. The company I’ve worked for has routinely offered 4x10 work schedules to its employees but the group I am now in is considering whether to end that practice. I will quit if that happens even though I probably wouldn’t have just five years ago. I have no interest in commuting one more day and losing a day off (and a weekday off, no less, when I can get personal appointments and leisure things done).
With every day that passes, I weight time away from work and time for leisure far more than I do money. Even though I have nowhere near enough to retire and any “low-stress” job wouldn’t pay me enough to live in my metro area, I would still walk away and consider what to do next if that benefit is revoked.
- kangnkodos 7y agoI agree with everything except I would change the order a little. Mentally decide to leave. Consider what to do next. Get that next job, perhaps a very different job. Give your two week notice.
