Severance

Have you watched this show? It’s about people living two separate lives. When they’re at the office they don’t remember what happened at home and viceversa. The main character choose to comply with this work policy as a convenient way to cope with the loss of a loved one. Would you ever consider doing the same for whatever reason?

I have not watched this show but intend to look it up later today! It sounds like a very interesting concept. I work in an industry that requires empathy for others, so my personal life is actually helpful in my professional environment, so I would not want to separate those two attributes of my being. But that's just me!

I agree that this concept sounds interesting. I think it's quite a dilemma. I originally would vote to separate my work from home life because I want to be a consistent person or "act like it". At work, its embarrassing to sound different. Like I have to be stern at work. If I remember my bf calling me, I act a bit small and whiny. Maybe it's easier to have a separate life, so I can have different personality when I'm home.

Then I decided that mixing memories of home and work life is important in my field because the kids I have will get to know who I am, while I'm figuring it out.
