Mr. mm, in a STEM field, got let go from his job last fall and after looking as a few job prospects, decided to do what he always talked about doing when he *retired*.
He started his own consulting business.
His getting let go was the best thing that happened to our marriage. That job was consuming his life and since he was on call, we could not make ANY plans without being able to count on the phone ringing with a problem he had to go in and fix. And ring it did.
And yet, he would not quit and find something else. They *needed* him.
Well so did I and yet I was the one who took second place. ALL. THE. TIME.
And so the company he felt he couldn’t say *No* to, gave him the axe with no warning whatsoever.
And the new business is working out well and he’s FAR happier than when he was employed.
Losing a job is not the end all and should not result in a marriage taking a hit. The wife should be there to support her husband through it because it’s not their situation forever.
Oh yeah now your defending globalism and H-1B? Is there no bottom?
