The pandemic was undoubtedly the push I needed to get out and do what I had always planned to do, and when every one of us were sent new home from the zone controlled Heating and A/C of the office while 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 my perspective on my work.
But I’m thankful nonetheless. After more than 15 years of service to the company, I was barely able to hang on to my job due to the pandemic. And I had to take a deep pay chop to just continue toiling remotely from the a/c at home. This just didn’t lay well with myself and others and I knew that I has sort of duped myself into thinking that I was costly to the company. When I started my work, I only wanted to be inside the commercial Heating and A/C of an office to get experience. I wanted to hone my skills for several years in order to go out on my own in this industry. But that steady paycheck and my climb up the corporate ladder diverted those plans. It wasn’t until the pandemic that I easily saw my worth to the company. So I ended up never going back to that zone controlled Heating and A/C of the downtown offices. Instead, I resigned and went out on my own instead. This was horrifying but what I wanted all along. I now have a new kitchen where there was once a spare room. And I had the Heating and A/C company come out to install a ductless heat pump in my new new kitchen. I might be toiling from new home but the quality heating and air is better than my seasoned office.
