Hi Char B! I’ve only just come across your Substack because I haven’t been on socials for ages! But popped on yesterday and saw this! It was crazy timing as I’m in a phase of “starting over” after being very unwell for almost 2 years (mostly pregnancy related). I’m starting to think about returning to work next year and have been thinking along similar lines to you… not the 9-5 (because of childcare) but the stable, “boring”, predictable, and in my head “easy” job.
Very proud of you with this Substack - you’re a beautiful writer. I’m unemployed at the moment so can’t subscribe but will as soon as I can.
Hello darling friend. Was so happy to read this when I woke up. Damn. Im sorry you haven’t been well. It’s so so unfair you’re bloody tough and always have been. Exciting coming into a new phase!! Yay for stability it’s def the new sexy. And message me ANYTIME I’d love to stop by after work one night when you’re feeling like a visitor xxxxx
Also, I’ve just read this - a different angle but still thought provoking. https://open.substack.com/pub/thestillwandering/p/the-death-of-the-corporate-job?r=207a6o&utm_medium=ios
