WOMAN GOT RETRENCHED & BECAME JOBLESS BUT SAYS SHE LOVES BEING UNEMPLOYED

I got laid off a month ago and I love being unemployed.

I am 30 years old. I work in a field where I have gotten laid off every year for the past 8 years. But I am also a single mom, so I have chosen to get a part time job every year as well.

This year I was able to save quite a bit of money, and so when I got laid off, I decided I wasn’t going to work anymore and just live off of my savings and unemployment.

BEST DECISION EVER. I forgot how free it felt to not have to go to work everyday. I sleep in as much as I want, and do whatever I want during the day. If I just feel like resting, I rest! I can do whatever hobbies or activities I feel like doing as well. I have not had this much free time in 8 YEARS.

I decided I was going to not return to my job after my layoff ended, and so I found a new job, which I start February 20.

I am excited to start my new job and think I will enjoy it much more than my previous job, but also I am feeling sad that I will have to give up all this free time and go back to the daily grind of working again.

Working full time while also raising a child is so incredibly difficult, exhausting and draining. I am glad I had this break.

The new position I have accepted is a full-time year-round job, so my days of being laid off are over (I hope).

But I hope to find a way to include more rest and relaxation in my life even when I return to working. I didn’t realize how much I missed it.
