My job was totally fine, byt my partner had been laid off right before me. I was happy to be able to spend a bunch of time with them—I didn’t even know about COVID yet. Then a couple months later, everything shut down. I didn’t work for years. It was incredible.

I was confused before this, and it didn't make it easier

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

I'm guessing they were well off if they were able to not work for years.

I’m guessing they live in a country that doesn’t hate it’s citizens

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

I'm not sure of many countries where the average person can take years off of work in a row and be fine financially. Do you know of any countries like this?

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

COVID was a special situation

Been together for 12 years, i certainly hope there’s a spark!

I am assuming that you had enough saved up in the bank hence you were happy about the impromptu 2 years vacation with severance granted to you?

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago

Absolutely! Got a buttload of severance, then my country started paying heaps of COVID jobless bonus money for like a year and a half. It worked out perfectly (though I did feel terrible for taking advantage of that while some of my closest friends had to go into work and stuff)
