When couples struggle with leaving dehumanizing work together

My partner and I both work in tech and we keep talking about how our jobs are making us feel like machines - constant optimization, endless metrics, no time to actually think. We say we want to find work that feels more human but we're also terrified of giving up the financial security and we can't seem to have an honest conversation about what we'd actually be willing to sacrifice.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are caught between their shared values and their individual fears about economic survival.
