No job, no problem: For some, a 'funemployment' summer after quitting sounds like a perfect plan
, a period of funemployment sounds just about perfect for some, said Julia Pollak, the chief economist at ZipRecruiter."People now have more freedom to hop in and out of the labor market," she told Insider.and the vast majority of people who lose their jobs look for a new one right away, noted Pollak. But many of those who have bit of leftover pandemic savings and perhaps some severance are taking their sweet time.
Wren Taylor, 35, enjoyed her summer of funemployment last year after being laid off from her corporate marketing job. Living off her severance and savings , she learned to bake a perfect baguette, started a vegetable garden,Many of the older hikers she encountered told her that they wished they'd done the trek when they were younger, fitter, and had better knees, but they could never fit it in around work.
"Their comments affirmed that I wasn't wasting my time," she told Insider."Up until that point, I'd spent my whole life hustling in my career." Wren started applying for jobs last fall, just as her self-published novel began earning some real money. During job interviews, she said that all she could think about was the freedom she'd lose by going back to a traditional job. So she made the decision to become a full-time writer."After a while, my corporate career didn't feel like the shiny sparkly dream it was presented as," she said.
"It feels weird to say, but all of the income I earn now is through writing novels, and I absolutely still work 40 hours a week."Subscribe to push notifications
