[quote=Anonymous]I am terrified I will be forced into staying home if I get laid off. Financially we are fine, DH is in tech and is industry is doing fine, and we have a big cushion from me staying in the workforce. My kids are older (8 and 11) and I've personally loved everyone staying home all day to work and do school. I mean I'm not happy about this pandemic, scared for the world etc, but that part has been fine. The kids are busy with school and they are playing together well etc. and we have room to all work etc.

Anyway, I could get laid off this summer and I think it would be very boring so I wouldn't enjoy it. I love my job actually and it's super flexible and now even more so. At least getting laid if in "normal times" would mean taking some time to reassess and chill and enjoy things like shopping or maybe even taking some trips to see girlfriends etc., but now it would just be boring. Also it would probably be a while before I got another job given the state of the economy.[/quote]
