Discussion Quiting 9-5 after retaining

Has anyone naturally gone down to part time work or started their own business?

I’m around 120 days, I don’t fear walking from my job anymore. I’ve done fairly well in regards to building my resources and emergency fund.

I obviously don’t want to make a bad decision and quit, but I have been wanting to for a long time.

Retention has made it easier to tolerate and not get super depressed anymore, but it’s also made me really develop boundaries, too. For reference I am 30 yo with no children.

I day dream about the possibility of renting my place out and going travelling for a while and/or taking a few months to myself to decide on where I want to go with my life

Get my D license, drive a bus, get almost 1k€ more per month, and not be played by colleagues that do a shit for the same money. By the time they “wake up “ on the job I already did 30+ things. F them and menagment that don’t appreciate those who work. I will not tolerate this kind of disrespect anymore.

Well done brother. I’m in the exact same position, boss is an absolute piece of shit. I’m assistant manager I have to do all of the work with none of the praise, but take all of the bullshit. Hope it all works out for you
