Setting a custom working directory for a worker_thread Worker

[TimDaub]

process.chdir allows changing node's working directory. When using a Worker from worker_threads it is not available though.

  TypeError {
    code: 'ERR_WORKER_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION',
    message: 'process.chdir() is not supported in workers',
  }

How can I customize a worker thread's directory e.g. upon startup?
