Til Schünemann’s site is a personal blog built around long-form, first-person writing. The featured post, “job loss & cortisone mania,” recounts being called into a short-notice 1:1 meeting on 18 August, learning that a company restructuring would eliminate his role, and being logged out by lunchtime. Because he was still within a six-month probation period, he received two weeks of paid leave before unemployment began — his first time without a job in roughly ten years.
The narrative then turns to health. Shortly after the layoff he fell ill with what he believes may have been a Covid infection, marked by low energy, joint pain, stiffness, and a lingering cough still present two months later. The writing connects the stress of sudden job loss with the onset of autoimmune-type symptoms, and the title’s reference to cortisone signals the medical thread that runs through the piece.
The blog suits readers who want an unfiltered, diary-like perspective on career disruption and chronic illness rather than actionable career advice. It will resonate with tech workers who have experienced restructuring, and with anyone navigating the overlap of stress and health problems. Those looking for job-search strategies or medical guidance should look elsewhere.
Use the site as reflective reading: the post is dated and timestamped, written at 06:45 on 2026-10-20, and reads as a personal record rather than reporting. Navigation is minimal — Home, Now, Contact, Tags, and RSS — so the RSS fee
