Nearly two in five (37 percent) managers, directors, and executives believe their organization enacted layoffs in the last year because fewer employees than they expected quit during their RTO. And their beliefs are well-founded: One in four (25 percent) VP and C-suite executives and one in five (18 percent) HR pros admit they hoped for some voluntary turnover during an RTO.
Offer to come back as a consultant for 2x your previous pay
With work-from-home as a non-negotiable condition.
As a contractor, your client isn’t allowed to dictate your work methods. It’s one of the things the IRS looks at when identifying misclassified employees.
Funnily enough I heard that internally they were talking about asking to have me come back as a contractor (with insane pay) but I was so much enjoying my time away from such a toxic company that nothing could make me return. I took a 7-month staycation after quitting just to unfuck how much they fucked up my brain, self-worth, and anxiety
i dunno, grinding for a few years on contractors income and funneling it all into a pension sounds like a pretty good way of retiring early.
5x pay. Independent LLCs have all sorts of expenses, including taxes/marketing/accounting/etc.
Health insurance…
So much this. Health insurance is the primary reason I have a salaried position.
Yep. I’ve done exactly that. Something overlooked a lot of places is to actually start an LLC (it does cost a bit, especially if you’re strapped) if you can because that protects you. If you screw something up by accident a company can either come after you personally or the business that employs you.
