Thankfully, yes. I grew to hate my previous job because of shitty leadership. I was cut when there were two rounds of downsizing because I was the best-paid on my team. They did me a favor. I was only half-heartedly looking for a new job because doing so is challenging when your morale is blasted from working a shit job.
The new job is far higher stakes, but also far easier 95% of the time. I’m reading books during my downtime between putting out fires. I’m uniquely qualified for the role. I can also walk to work in ten minutes. And I absolutely love my boss. It’ll be six months tomorrow. Wooooha!
Sort of? I’m on Peace Corps service for now and in some ways it’s really awesome, but at the end of the day the actual work is with the government and it feels like actually doing anything out here is like trying to run with a ball and chain.
Eh, I’m trying to travel. Don’t get me wrong I give my best effort to PC’s missions but we’re not really set up to do that which the general public might imagine we do.
Meanwhile I have about 7 months before I return to the US and the idea of finding a real job is so terrifying I thought to turn to askLemmy for inspiration lol

They killed my job and gave me a huge win.
Edit: OP, how about you?

I appreciate you for trying to make a difference.
