I had the unfortunate pleasure of being let go from my job earlier this month--the second time this has happened to me in less than a year. Like the last time, it wasn't unexpected. Let's face it. The market is beyond rough and companies and families all over the world are treading water to stay afloat. Rationally speaking, I know that my termination had nothing to do with me, but rather the bottom line. However, you can't help but develop a complex after two lay-offs. I'm trying to regain my professional confidence and find new opportunities out there that suit my needs.
As a twist of fate, the woman who watches My Little Man (MLM) decided to go back into the workforce, leaving my husband and I to search for new childcare--such a stressful event. This happened two weeks before I received my pink slip. I look at these two events as fate. I think this is a higher power telling me it's time to spend more time at home. My husband and I were also beginning talks of baby #2, so it seems like the stars have aligned.
In short, I'm looking for a job with less hours, so I can stay home with MLM and focus on my family more. I know I can find something to fit my schedule. I'm glad to be living in a time when people like me can find flexible work options that keep them stimulated professionally without having to work 50 hours a week at a desk in a stuffy office.
