Eh, congrats! New Job?
I'm self employed.
Found out I'm depressed, decided to reduce work to 3 days a week.
Raised prices to reduce clients. Turns out I now make more, doing less work. It is what it is.
I once quit my job at a software company I really hated. They were desperate to keep me around for the projects I was leading so they asked if I would work hourly for a while. I quoted them a go-fuck-yourselves hourly rate which they immediately agreed to, which made me even more angry about my prior years of poor compensation. I worked under this agreement for about half a year and further improved my effective hourly rate by not working very hard.
Dont mean to pry, but I'll gladly do whatever you're doing
He’s mainly dealing with depression.
Only 2 days a week for depression? Rookie numbers
