I don't actually plan to quit, I plan to stop making any effort and wait for them to fire me.
In my team, 6 people are now doing the job 10 of us did. There are also many new sub tasks and processes that've been introduced. The targets have also been raised. The amount of pressure on us is getting out of hand. We've tried to reason with our employers but they're not interested. I'm experiencing anxiety and depression. All this for mimimum wage.
I need $600 to live per month. That gets me a decent 1 bedroom flat, decent food, electricity etc.
I have $2000 saved. So if I get $70 in benefits per week, plus my $300 rent paid, my $2000 will buy me a couple of years of not working.
In this time I will learn web design and build a successful money generating website. I'll have 7 days a week to do this. I have an IT releated degree and some basic programming experience. I'll design basic sites for people for some extra income. I only need to generate $13,000 per year to be earning what I do right now.
Please tell me why this is a terrible idea. Maybe you see another option?
