      Our ACA health insurance is going to go up by about $300/mo next year and get significantly crappier 😐. Paycheck people have NO clue how good they have it.

      I'm even less hirable than employable at this point. Too old for entry/middle mgmt roles, too feral for exec roles. Perils of entering middle age as a free agent.

      I said two days for paperwork, but you can probably get away with quitting on day one. it can be a shit pyramid scheme, as long as it has healthcare

      What's in it for the company to let me do this? I don't think it's a cost-free option for them. Such shenanigans do eventually show up in their rates (since churn enters the function)

      Uh... clearly we have different levels of risk tolerance for that kind of reputational damage and/or bad faith. It is *extremely* costly for a company to hire somebody and have it not work out. I'd only do it as an arrangement with a friendly business owner.

          the scheme is to do it with an entry level role at a faceless multicorp, but I do understand where you’re coming from
