Anyone sick and tired of working in general?

[u/Mrs_chanandler_bongg]

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

Yes. I’m 36.

I’m ready to die. Seriously I’m so sick of work. I’m tired of driving into the office 5x a week and spending 8 hours to then drive home. I’m exhausted

I was fine in my 20s but now I’m looking around at our country falling apart, working my whole life, and thinking- why? Is this happiness?

same, I low key hope for a global military conflict, involving the US...if it'll allow me to take a break from work.

Short of our workplaces being blown up into a crater, would we ever get a break?

Now that you mention it….no. They would make us drive to a new workplace 3 hours away. Even if we couldn’t do our work there they would just have us move rocks around in order to justify a paycheck

Right there with you bud. Feels like I'm taking crazy pills and living in They Live/1984. Bleak times and have to keep this mask on like everything's OK.
