Anybody else ended up not returning to work after the shutdown?

[Soundbwoy]

I was working in corporate A/V so we were the first ones affected by the Covid shutdown but being that I’m resourceful I was able to secure another gig getting paid more than I was doing minimal work, I’ve been called back to my A/V job 2 weeks ago it was inconsistent hours and yesterday after an in studio event I told everybody that was my last day, I explained to them my life changed during the shutdown and I felt coming back was like taking a step backwards. FYI I do have something else lined up

We went remote fully in February 2020 before the pandemic was a thing. I thought I was going to have a unique job being fully remote (it wasn’t common before the pandemic and most wfh jobs were shytty $9hr customer service jobs) but then a month later everyone was just like me

I used to do something like customer support when I was in school.
The trick is keep yourself busy that's all.
I was reading books while keeping my headphones on.
If you at home then get a treadmill or an exercise bike.

Or even better get this:

I haven't seen my office since 3/10/20 and doubt I ever will again.

I've literally seen a few of my coworkers once over the summer for a work function in the last year and a half.

I'm in sales and I bring in bank. They know where to find me.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Never left the office.

Low key I got rich during Covid

More money that I ever had at once in my account. By an order of magnitude.

So how are you eating now?

Better paying job, better team, I would say better boss too but my previous boss was also great.

This is a new career path for me, still in IT, but now at a major IT company building their CX Practice.
20k more, but before I had an expense card and I used the fukk outta it!!!

I love my current job, but i'm gonna miss my old one too.
I had about $700 budget a month to spend on my card taking people out.
I would go to the most expensive restaurants and just wild out.
Great gourmet dining almost daily, and I would always order an extra plate to go for supper.

Same here. My job was permanently changed to remote. I remember before they used to stress being in the office. Not so much these days.

Look for something that will keep you eating if there’s another shutdown

Same here, I was eating during Covid, there was too much money to get out there.
