I'm seeing a lot of posts this week with similar stories as mine. People finally having enough and deciding their mental health is a higher priority than their checking account. I finally got the push I needed two weeks ago and started my own business. Reason, I got tired of every employer I've had for the last three years thinking my work day begins at the end of the work day. Four out of five days a week after already working 8 1/2 to 9 hours I'd get the, "Oh yeah I forgot to tell you, I promised the client he could have his map by 10:00am tomorrow. You didn't have any plans this evening did you?" Most of the time it was to finish somebody else's work who left an hour earlier. Oh course I've told them over and over to kiss my ass and I'd go home anyways being considered the bad guy even more so than the original people who didn't finish the work. I finally had enough of being "the bad guy" all the time and now I work the hours I want for as long as I want by subcontracting to different and even some of the same companies I left. Currently I'm working out of my house and saving a load on gas. Things are a little slow at the moment but I've been promised a few big projects down the road.
Good luck to everybody else making moves.
