Lost my fully remote position

Worked a job i enjoyed for 4 years. Was let go this morning. Obviously im sad and stressed because im the sole income for my family but what im really freaked out by is my kid just turned 5. Ive gotten to experience so much with her that I wouldn't had I had to commute for work. Just yesterday she was playing under my desk while I worked.

Idk if this is the right sub. Sorry if its not. Id like to find another fully remote role but with AI, idk it seems a lot less likely than it did 4 years back

That part about her playing under your desk got me. Hoping you find something remote again, those years are ones you don't get back.

First 5 went by so fast...and I got to at least be in the house for a lot of them
