Everyday I wake up,
• I tell myself it's WFH half the time, just take as long a break as you need. Nobody cares. You are a paid part-time wage for full time monopolization of your time. It's on them, not on you, for their bad planning and constant rushing to wait.
• I look at the calendar, look at a particular date and particular month. And I count things down telling myself at least it's productive use of my time – I am getting paid.
• If I do leave, even with no plans going forward, it's their loss not mine. I've done a version of what I am doing now for months and months, and this is the first time I'm experiencing what it means to “wring every dollar out of you”. And my previous experience, placed on anybody else's shoulders would have already hit “horrible”. The little things just makes this time around that much more problematic.
