Turned down a job today despite looking for one for so long. It’s been 6 weeks invested, emotionally.
I felt it would be detrimental to my mental & physical health. Bad hours, crammed office, in-office full time, & no guarantee of renewal after 6 months, plus if I was, it’d likely be for highly erratic hours anywhere from 3:30am to midnight, 7 days a week.
The money is good.
The price is not.
So I said no. Here’s hoping there’s a better option around the corner.
And here’s to boundaries.
