The pandemic was entirely the push I needed to get out plus do what I had constantly planned to do! When both of us were sent beach house from the zone controlled HVAC of the office while I was in the worst of the pandemic, it was the tipping point of change for me. I dislike that it took a global health crisis to change our perspective on our career. But I’m thankful nonetheless. After more than 15 years of service to the business, I was barely able to hang on to our job due to the pandemic. And I had to take a deep spend our money split to just continue laboring remotely from the a/c at home. This just didn’t rest well with me plus I knew that I has sort of duped myself into thinking that I was overpriced to the business. When I started our career, I only wanted to be inside the commercial HVAC of an office to get experience. I wanted to hone our skills for many years in order to go out on our own in this industry. But that steady paycheck plus our climb up the corporate ladder diverted those plans. It wasn’t until the pandemic that I absolutely saw our worth to the business. So I ended up never going back to that zone controlled HVAC of the downtown offices. Instead, I resigned plus went out on our own instead. This was spine-chilling but what I wanted all along. I now have a beach house office where there was once a spare room. And I had the HVAC contractor come out to install a ductless heat pump in our current beach house office. I might be laboring from beach house but the quality heating plus air is better than our ancient office.
