I turned down a bunch of jobs because they seem to be the same as pre covid. And honestly I don’t want to go back to the grind/ stress/ commute. And then they say people don’t want to work. Ummm people don’t want to slave themselves while you line your pockets thank you very much

I work with a few people who seem disillusioned by working for the man, grinding away. but they’re still with the company because they’re not sure what to do.

So, for people who are tired of the rat race... what’s the solution? How do you break the wheel?

Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!
