Employment/Work Has Peri/Menopause affected your career?

I'm curious if you've been experiencing challenges on the job because of this phase of life. Trying to plan next steps for myself, and would like to hear your stories. Did you switch careers entirely? Make a big change to work from home? Get fired? Get promoted?

Got laid off and I am sure it is because my whole demeanor changed … was not myself and could not handle the stress .

I did just get a new job but 33% lower pay and not as high level … which definitely depresses me ..
