OE is definitely a blessing!! Long story short, my J2 announced that layoffs could be coming in the next couple weeks. This was during a big meeting and you could see people looking nervous/tense. Meanwhile, I’m relaxed knowing that I still have a job and will probably be getting severance from J2. This is why we OE!

Both are FTE jobs. Don’t be scared, corporations can turn on you with a flip of a switch so doing this ensures you have financial security + extra money in case things go bad.

That’s my motivation for this after being laid off while being told I had strong performance results. What kind of shitty company communications is that? And then they hit you with a layoff while lying to your face about how you are “safe” at this company. Disgusting amount of hypocrisy that is forcing people toward OE and those same corpos using media to paint OErs in a bad light.

Curious to ask if you are on full time employment or contract? What are the advantages vs disadvantages between the two approaches ? Fear is stopping me doing this

If you're just starting out in OE, I would recommend juggling contracts for a while. That will give you experience in OE and contracts can be for shorter periods, which allows you a break every so often. If you are already into OE and have been comfortable doing it for a while, then look for a FT job, more relaxed, a little less demanding. One where you can fly under the radar.

Best of luck to you!
