Today I received my voluntary severance contract to review and sign. It immediately threw up some questions that I am pursuing, although I have been asked to return by Friday, which is in 3 days time.
It also made the fact that I am leaving my company all the more real. After 11 years at one place I have been feeling quite institutionalised. That said, there are plenty of jobs around right now. The economy is strong, or at least it was. And recruiters are telling me that they are carrying out virtual interviews and onboarding via webex. I am optimistic.
But the state of the world just gets worse and worse. Today a 13 year old boy died, with no underlying medical conditions. This disease seems to be going for younger and younger people. This was never something that I thought I would live through. The Excel Centre, where I might have gone in May for the annual Adobe Summit conference is now transformed into a hospital. There are field hospitals being erected in Central Park. The next two weeks are going to be hideous.
So tonight I applied for more jobs on LinkedIn. It's a fairly easy process. And this morning I re-worked my CV. Just as hundreds of people are dying, young as well as old.
