  I’m going to be honest here, it doesn’t sound like you even really know what you want. Annoying coworkers are an inevitable part of adult life. I have had a lot of jobs at many different companies, and you just learn how to fake nice and play as little of the office politics that you can. The best thing for you, I think, would be finding a remote job if that’s possible. There are a ton of remote positions now a days and that’s the best way to not have to interact with other people, save for zoom meetings.

  This is cool, but wouldn’t it make any tire issue an engine issue and this way more expensive and difficult to deal with?

  Best of luck to you too. I also just had my first child and moved across the country. Timing could not have been worse. I haven’t been to an office since the day they sent us home for “2 weeks” while covid calms down. I’ve started applying to local jobs, willing to give up remote work. Never thought I’d be willing to give that up.

  I’ve worked in the SaaS world for nearly a decade. I’ve never had an issue getting a new job every couple of years. The best path for promotions and salary increases in this world. I was unfortunately part of a layoff back in the summer, and I have never had such a hard time finding work in my life.

  Every time I go to apply to a job that’s fairly new, I can see there are already a couple thousand applicants. Suddenly my decade of experience isn’t enough to land an interview, much less a job.

  It. Sucks.
