Finally did. Scared about what I will be doing tomorrow night. I don’t want to end up with another hernia. Off 8 weeks recently because of it. I should have demoted myself before I came back. Scared of change I guess. Now my feet hurt. Factory job. 48 Male
I did not exactly demote myself, but I did turn down jobs with better salary and other compensations and benefits for shorter hours and remote possibility. Also helps that I switched to a lead dev role where I have a lot of input and trust, I guess.
Working conditions and time with my family are extremely valuable to me. I refuse to be an absentee father to my children. I’ll take the days off for kids shows or when they’re sick, thank you.
