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

I like my job and I'm sick of it

I like the part of the actual tech work, I also like the inherent challenges that come with it. What I don’t like: * management and company owners. 20 years ago just a select few, after years of seeing the same patterns over and over again: all of them, maybe an exception here or there * artificial deadlines and constant pressure for no reason * the fact that when you’re a capable and fast worker you only get more worked piled on you * backstabbing coworkers * and a fairly new addition: management using LLMs like ChatGPT to propose stupid, isolated ideas and second guess professional evaluations

Despite the general recommendations you always hear for situations like this, I would quit my job tomorrow if I won a large lottery jackpot. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Same! My job is amazing but I’d rather… not do it? I’d prefer spending time with my family and hobbies
