Finally did. Scared about what I will be doing tomorrow night. I don’t want to end up with another hernia. Off 8 weeks recently because of it. I should have demoted myself before I came back. Scared of change I guess. Now my feet hurt. Factory job. 48 Male
This isn’t really a demotion but more of me preventing myself from moving up. I’m a senior FE dev and have been senior for years. I’ve had plenty of opportunity to shift into a manager role with reports, but I don’t want to manage people, and I want to keep coding. I know it would net me more pay and probably more respect but I don’t give a shit. I’m trying to stave off burnout, not invite it in.
