My old employer threw me a bone today and hired me back. It’s a contract position for a year or so, at a lot less than what I was making when I left, but believe me, I’m grateful for the job. Now I can look at my shop as a hobby again, instead of the reason for my misery. It’s a whole different outlook.

You will be making less as a contractor than as a regular employee doing the same work? Something is twisted there. But congrats. I know how it feels to be out of work and looking. It’s a great boost to land something.

The work isn’t the same as before. I was working as a Sr. Quality Engineer; this gig is a lower grade position with less responsibility, hence lower pay. I’m free to take a better job if one comes along, so I’ll keep my eyes open.
For now, though, it will be good to keep a roof over our heads and bread on the table.
