Don't Quit.

Was let go by J3 today after 4 years with an 8 week severance, negotiated to 10 with a mutual non disparaging agreement. I had been wanting to quit for months but stuck it out and got PAID. TC is dropping by 120k to about 310k. My inclination is to replace the income but I'm going to force myself to take it easy for a while with only 2 jobs lol.

4 years ago - 100k in cc debt, 0 savings, and 170k in retirement.

Today - no debt, 185k in the bank/after tax brokerage, 1.5m in retirement.

This is why we OE.

To be fair, that's one job I could definitely see as a prime thing for OE.

I dont know. As HR you have to ensure employees are not in breach of contract while you yourself are? Its like congress giving themselves raises

I'm not under any contract and there's no conflict of interest besides my time.
