Personal life isn't great either
I'm having a really crap time at work atm. Trying not to rant too much. I basically have problems with the new voice to text system they introduced, because I've worked as a transcriber for 30 years and can't adjust to being a proofreader for an idiot [the I in AI is much overrated].
Seriously considering resigning, whether temporarily or not, and picking some other transcribing work up in a few months time. I've got enough super to last three years.
Sound like a plan? I ask people not to be really sensible and ask me if I've considered this or that option, done the maths and so on, because I've done little else for quite a long time.
Right now I want not to be miserable and to be able to maybe do some proper writing again.

The reasons go wider afield than it seems. It's not *our* management, by which I mean the company was taken over by a huge organisation who already used this software and pushed it upon us. I believe they invented it. So our middle management types know the problems well.
They've tried to help those of us, notably older employees, having trouble. Newbies who haven't known anything else, or younger, smarter types, do better. My friend Z is a case in point; he knows computers well in general and dedicated himself to getting his head around this system, rather than recoiling in horror, which was more my reaction. So now he's my go-to person.
Anyway, I will be dropping days with their permission, so hopefully that will help. I have a huge pile of sick/carer leave that they'd quite like to see reduced! For the rest, we'll see. I'm not really financially ready to jump.
