Frankly, I don’t want to work for a company anymore.
Working Contract is much less drama and pays better.
Contracting lets me work from home 90-95% of the time. And that means I’m home while the kids are home for Christmas break. It meant I could drive the kids to and from activities and missing the bus was an annoyance, not a disaster. This is why women are around 3/4 of freelancers.
The terrible irony - women and children ARE hardest hit by this liberal lunacy.
