Not working is a perfectly valid option for dealing with burnout. Finally start that business, do some consulting, put that savings to use as a cushion instead of just a high score. Jobs will be there when you're done.
- jrockway 5y agoCOBRA depletes the cushion very quickly. I feel like if your employer made you unhealthy, they should pay to make you healthy. That's why I recommend avoiding the rage quit plan. If you live in a country with government-provided health coverage, the equation changes a lot, however.
