Continuing to Work While Embracing All Changes — Caregiving and Studies Edition
summary
Covers how an engineering manager balanced three and a half years of caregiving and a full-time job by regularly flying between Tokyo and Sapporo, using employer-approved remote work and company mental-health counseling. Describes concrete strategies like using package tours to reduce airfare, promptly handling burial/insurance/pension paperwork and difficult parent-named contracts, and returning to studies by taking 22 credits in six months with project work on security.
