We caught up with family and friends this weekend. Had a lunch with my wife’s colleagues and it turns out they are starting to move to job roles in other divisions. Not a good sign as it seems like they are jumping off a sinking ship. They are older with more grown-up kids so they can take the risk to move out.
This is not the case for my wife with a 4.5 month old baby and us possibly wanting to have another one eventually. When the kid is so young, it really restricts your ability to take career risks. She’s frustrated at not being able to move out even though she can see herself taking a hit from the upcoming restructure. But we just have to be patient and see how it plays out for her.
Anyway, we had a chat with my wife’s mum for some advice. She’s on paid garden leave these few months....
