Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Any office shake ups? Are you thinking of changing jobs or doing further training? Drama, scandal?

No interesting drama because I work from home. I am getting laid off next Friday, though, so that's nice. (Or have been laid off, last day is Friday, whatever makes more sense.)

Oh heck mate are you gonna manage financially?

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not going to be out of house and home (at least I can weather it for a while) but beyond that, we'll just have to see. Used to be I could find a new spot within a week or two, but the market has really turned in the last couple of years.

I appreciate your concern, but my wife is still working, making about half of what I normally do, and we are getting our health insurance through her. We largely live below our means, so we'll be alright for a bit.

You know, unless some crazy dictator comes along and starts trashing the economy..... oh.....
