I was laid off a couple years ago from at Schwab. And I admit that at the time I was pretty worried about my future and aLeo angry at the sleezy shenanigans that went down in my management chain that got me on the list.
But you know what? It, honestly, was the best thing that could ever have happened to me.
It turns out, laying me off from the worst employer I’ve ever had
In my career, gave me the motivation to go over my finances with a fine toothed comb and push me hard enough to actually try the “semi retired “thing and I have been living the high life ever since! I’ve taken a half dozen trips, started some new hobbies, spent more time with friends, taken some freelance work on occasion when I decided I wanted to not because I had to… I am a much happier person overall than I ever was when I was working at Schwab.
So I guess, in a way, I’d like to THANK Schwab for being such a miserable place at work that it forced me to think of other possibilities I might not have considered otherwise.
So my advice to you, if you are in a similar position and can make it happen, maybe it’s something you should think about!
After all, why your remaining years of full time employment working for mo--ns? Just something to think about.
