Yes, in Spain it’s even worse because we don’t have a good situation here so people are quitting their jobs with no guarantee about getting another one.

Think about how stressed you must be to do that.

It’s also my story, I left my position at a company to work as a freelancer. Why? Because I won’t stand working 8-10 hours a day anymore, you spend the 75% of your life working, then you retire having barely 10-15 years to enjoy and that’s not right.

It’s true that I earn less than before, but I’m happier than ever because I decide when I need to work and when I need to rest. I don’t have to be afraid thinking if the company I’m at will get rid of me because I’m not productive enough, I have time for educating myself, my hobbies and to spent time with my people etc…

It’s 2022 and our work model is more than 100 years old, people is becoming aware.
