It’s not easy. What I found helpful is if you can separate work and personal life. Only work for money unless you start your own business.
Separating the two allows you not to care if the business does poorly, it allows you to not feel guilty when your boss fails or the business does poorly, or needs extra help but you have a date that night.
I was laid off in September from a company, started a new company on Monday, they announced layoffs on Tuesday, and found out Wednesday my job is safe. Suffice to say, companies don’t care about you so get in, cash out.
100 percent agree. Always fight for pay, not for rhe company trying to pay you less.
