My job was totally fine, byt my partner had been laid off right before me. I was happy to be able to spend a bunch of time with them—I didn’t even know about COVID yet. Then a couple months later, everything shut down. I didn’t work for years. It was incredible.
I’m not sure of many countries where the average person can take years off of work in a row and be fine financially. Do you know of any countries like this?
Absolutely! Got a buttload of severance, then my country started paying heaps of COVID jobless bonus money for like a year and a half. It worked out perfectly (though I did feel terrible for taking advantage of that while some of my closest friends had to go into work and stuff)
I’m confused. Were you happy because the job sucked or because you were laid off before Covid?

I was confused before this, and it didn’t make it easier
I’m guessing they were well off if they were able to not work for years.
I’m guessing they live in a country that doesn’t hate it’s citizens

COVID was a special situation
Awww…you love dem. Rai and them, sitting in a tree. 😊
Been together for 12 years, i certainly hope there’s a spark!
I am assuming that you had enough saved up in the bank hence you were happy about the impromptu 2 years vacation with severance granted to you?
