This hit too close to home. I'm now in my second forced job change in 3 years, and honestly I'm trying to make the most of it by using this job change to move to a larger city, just like how I used my last job change for a big bump in pay and benefits. It's been a goal to move for better resources for my special needs child, but now it's also about ensuring more resiliencey in my finances because if the next place lays me off I'll actually have no shortage of places to work within a 30 minute commute rather than commuting an hour like I did a year and a half ago and like I'm likely to start doing again soon. This shit makes me seriously wonder how people manage to work at places for 20 or 30 years straight
