I’ve been on a medical LOA since last year and tomorrow I go back to work and I keep thinking about how almost all my coworkers I knew are gone and processes have changed. Also that if I do something wrong I might injure myself again and be right back where I was a year ago (I have been cleared for full job duties by my doctor).
What kind of sunk-cost fallacy bullshit is this? Do you want 30 good years, or 70 shit ones? You are literally mid-life. And you think you should spend the back half of it suffering too because that’s better somehow?
