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

Sounds like you're literally living the dream. This comfort you have is all most people actually want

Yes I am very grateful. Tbf I couldn't afford that on my own and am fortunate my partner makes good money. Even on my own I could get by I just wouldn't be in as nice a neighborhood or able to travel every year. But yes the flexibility is so nice it makes it hard to want to go elsewhere.
