    I’m confused. Were you happy because the job sucked or because you were laid off before Covid?

      My job was totally fine, byt my partner had been laid off right before me. I was happy to be able to spend a bunch of time with them—I didn’t even know about COVID yet. Then a couple months later, everything shut down. I didn’t work for years. It was incredible.

        I am assuming that you had enough saved up in the bank hence you were happy about the impromptu 2 years vacation with severance granted to you?

          Absolutely! Got a buttload of severance, then my country started paying heaps of COVID jobless bonus money for like a year and a half. It worked out perfectly (though I did feel terrible for taking advantage of that while some of my closest friends had to go into work and stuff)
