    I quit when my wife(mother of my four young children) passed away, I simply couldn’t focus on work at all and needed to focus all my time on my kids during this time of grief. The company were quite gracious about it, and a couple years later when they needed an expert on the system they were using and could work on getting rid of it in favor of a newer better system, they called me up to see if I would come back, and I did. Stayed there another 9 years until the company was bought by a conglomerate and I was laid off due to COVID. I’m glad I got laid off, the conglomerate was like all really large companies, with zero interest in individuals, only in workers.
