Multiple family medical issues. Bad rating are work with an effective 4.7% pay cut.

Edit: Really, down voting my troubles...

That’s tough, I hope you push through and brighter things come your way.

4.7% cut, or did you loose the chance of a 4.7% increase? Didn't know companies can cut your salary for a bad perf review.

Sorry for your loss. I learned Rust back in 2020, but decided to take a 2 year break from the industry, so haven’t used it yet.

Got a new job after a few months of struggle, moved to a city I enjoy, got my side project up and running, a few hundred users, a few even paying for it, went back to therapy, doing better, got myself 2 green plants and gave them name, they're still alive so far.

Sorry to hear about your loss OP. Congrats to everyone who pushed through this year.

It's an effective cut. 1.5% increase minus 6.2% inflation.

My condolences for your loss. Congrats on 2 through 5.

1. I started a new job digital marketing job making the most money I've ever made

2. I read 14 books (my goal for 2021 was 12 - I've never read that many in a single year ever).

3. I started training BJJ again after 1.5 year break because of the pandemic.

4. I started blogging/writing again after an ~8 year break.

From personal experience, writing down a handful of goals at the beginning of the year, I find that I'm far more likely to follow through with them.

Was it hard to write again after the long break? What did you did to gain momentum again?

My condolences OP, I:

- Got a new job that pays a living wage.

- Got engaged.

- Started to blog and began to blog for a open source advocate platform.

- Learned Ruby on Rails and loved it!

- After 2+ years of therapy I was finally discharge.

Was a hard year tbh, but I'm starting to get some positive momentum on my life.
