Damn. Hate to be fired from my job of almost 18 years but i got an email today that my employer will follow the osha emergency rules for the clot shot, when it comes out. So my job is on borrowed time, as i will not be getting it. They say testing every week but, according to the dementia resident, testing each week will be at employees expense and not covered by insurance. And Dr's can refuse to treat. So, no job, no insurance. Easy come, easy go. Ive been poor all my life. Wont be jabbin for a job!

I don't have a mandate or requirement to keep my job of 22 years but I gave my 2 weeks notice yesterday. Why? To start a new chapter in life that doesn't include working for anyone but me and those I chose to serve when I wake up every morning. No taxes generated, and they have to cough up my half of ret. contributions when they are running low on their magic money. Double whammy.
I don't have a safety net or a secure means of income, just a green thumb and a love for gardening. Have had full insurance coverage but have used it just a couple of times in 2 decades, not a real loss to be honest.
What I do have is a profound sense of freedom, pride, self-respect, and hope. And lots of free time.
Time for family, friends, philosophy, farming, freedom and fireworks!
If others are forced into it, my job is to join and stand up with them in support. Best wishes.
Good luck on your new venture fren! I hope it works out for you, doing things for yourself has its problems but they are well worth it.
I've been a self employed builder for ten years and I've always had my bills met.
It sounds like you have the right mindset to go alone and I love hearing from people that they took their lives into their own hands.
We just went full time self employed so we are with you; just hubby and I against the world
