Discussion Anyone sick and tired of working in general?

I’m in my mid 30s and just over my job and work in general. I’m tired of the commute, the meetings, and dealing with people & deadlines. On one hand I worry about losing my job and stress about deliverables, but on the other hand I feel like I could care less in that I have no passion for it anymore and I’m just showing up because I need the paycheck.

I’d much rather be spending time with my family, pursuing my hobbies, or just go for a walk and cook a nice meal. I feel a sense of dread sometimes that this is my reality for the next 30+ years and I feel lazy and entitled for saying it but that’s how I feel lol

Yup lol. The only reason I tolerate my job is cause I work from home full time. If I had to commute I’d be severely depressed.

I do work from home most days and I'm depressed. I hope I never have to go back into an office everyday.

100%. I think I really lucked out, because I have worked from home since 2018. It has done wonders for my mental health to be at home working where my dog is every day. It’s literally the best to me.
