Antiwork

Took a $7 paycut, barely making it. Still happier.

Title says it all. Recent post I posted that I was working 100+ hour weeks for $75k salary… I finally just ended up quitting and took a $7 paycut equivalent to $28 an hour, same field. I can barely make it by, but aside from that, the mental health break I am getting is unexplainably nice. Unlivable wage, but when you’re working as much as I was I’ll take it. I’m going to try to make this last as long as I can. 7am-4pm, 40 hours per week. No more than that. Even that’s too much, but at least less weight is on my shoulders now. Meh. It’s a start in the right direction.
