Month: May 2022

Idk working five times a week for more than 8 hrs is kind of making so plain and boring. I do have hobbies like writing and reading books but I hardly find them entertaining at all. I've tried all sorts of stuff even gardening…. man I can't enjoy anythig at all. I try to log in here, even on other social medias but man, I just can't fucking enjoy anything

I’ve just been promoted to a role that engineers usually don’t reach until 3 years into the company while I’ve only been there one year. I’ve been described by the manager as his “right hand guy” and am the lead engineer in the group while also being the youngest and have been with the company the least amount of time. I just finished developing a program (outside my role) that expedites the work of our group by about 75% (mainly to make my own job easier). In return I received a raise at the beginning of the year under the average raise amount of other engineers in my position at the company (I don’t know why but they told me this kind of proudly). The raise was well below inflation. In the conversation I had about my promotion the manager said that they know that this is not how any…

I’m not even supposed to work on sundays. This is supposed to be my day off but got asked to do work last minute. Now I find out I don’t even get a break. Not even a half hour one. 🥲 half my Sunday is wasted now.
