it's not falsely claiming to be completely disabled to the point that you shouldn't be able to work any more.

Public Transportation would be a big change.

Madam Pattirini

I used to get sick on Sunday nights because I dreaded going to work the next day

Sounds like it worked out marvelously.

Madam Pattirini

1/11/22 3:26pm

It did in a variety of ways. I don't think my ADHD mouth would survive in

Moral of the story - the US health insurance system is MESSED UP

There was actually more to the story. One place told us we could get insurance

I understand that. I left corporate and entered academia. It's not for everyone,

Flexibility is one of the most underrated considerations

I'm burnt out but my job is pretty easy so I just spend a lot of time doing other stuff while WFH.

power binged so many shows the last 2 years.

Can you take a sabbatical? I kinda did. Changed everything. I now am in a solid

2,600 charge hours last year as a CPA

Chester Copperpot

Probably could have just left it at "CPA"

Mike Honcho

True dat

Chester Copperpot

Wow. That's incredible.

Madam Pattirini

Charge hour is an hour worked

Chester Copperpot

1/11/22 3:35pm

But probably does not include additional hours worked on admin, etc.?

TailgateU

1/11/22 3:43pm

That is correct.

Chester Copperpot

1/11/22 3:44pm

Possible double/triple billing helps push those hrs up. Still a lot of work.

TeeKaa

50 hours a week?

Or more. CPA work isn't spread evenly throughout the year.

Chester Copperpot

Ernst and Young burned me out within 5 years.

Same for my friend. Went to another company and is MUCH HAPPIER!

I have done 3000+ in a calendar year twice as a developer

Dang brother!!!! That's a lot of hours

It's too many. Combination of partners retiring and not being able to hire CPAs

Currently working through a burn out.

I know a guy on CB that faked a heart attack (up to the point they performed actual heart surgery on him) in order

None of the availble reactions fit here. . .

Madam Pattirini

1/11/22 3:35pm

Don’t you think doctors would actually run tests on him first to confirm?

stenso

1/11/22 3:37pm

Nah.. do it all the time without objective findings as you can still have

Common in the military to get 100% disability somehow, full retirement

Not exactly burnout, more like dead end.

realized I get the same raise if I ask for tons of "stretch" assignments vs coas

Mayor of Cougartown

In medicine. I ended up taking an employed gig with a hospital corporation

I’m in the middle of the change and it’s great, should have done it years ago
