Say I want to quit right now. What should I do?

Give a lot of thought to the reasons. Are you just assuming your company won’t work with you and let you work part time or remotely or take a sabbatical? Make sure you fully understand your company’s plans. trib.al/WkKyHWK

It’s going to be particularly tempting to use electronic mediums, but our research has found that organizations and managers respond poorly to emailing a boss or leaving a note on her desk. trib.al/WkKyHWK

THREAD: As depressing as the current situation is, though, the next pandemic—and there will be a next one—doesn’t have to be this bad. These are the five steps we need to take trib.al/LwmCyPE

We talked with six Covid long haulers about what it’s been like to live with the mystifying condition trib.al/CzB3cQS

Jenny, 45 (Oxford, England): “If I was teaching now, I’d be on my feet and using my lungs all day. My main symptom now is this pain in my chest, and it’s really tiring. I just don’t know what it is, and no one else does, either.” trib.al/CzB3cQS
