Antiwork

struggling with is it me or is it the job type…

I've been struggling hard the past few months with my anti work. I used to not be able to hold a job happily for more than 3 months because I would get bored and quit. Somehow I found sales (car sales) and on my second location I stayed there for 3 years. And my last year there I made 60k. But while I can say I liked it overall I would be lying if I said I constantly wasnt wanting to quit. I always want to quit. As soon as I arrive at work I want to quit. On the months where I kept busy and made 7k or more I didn't feel the work hate because I was making money. But then as soon as it got slow I would HATE every day and every minute feels like 10 minutes. The straw that broke the camels back was I…


I've been struggling hard the past few months with my anti work. I used to not be able to hold a job happily for more than 3 months because I would get bored and quit. Somehow I found sales (car sales) and on my second location I stayed there for 3 years. And my last year there I made 60k.

But while I can say I liked it overall I would be lying if I said I constantly wasnt wanting to quit. I always want to quit. As soon as I arrive at work I want to quit. On the months where I kept busy and made 7k or more I didn't feel the work hate because I was making money. But then as soon as it got slow I would HATE every day and every minute feels like 10 minutes.

The straw that broke the camels back was I felt they mishandled a scenario where my old truck that I'm working on restoring was in to get tires changed and they lifted it by the bed crushing the bed sides. And when I told them to fix it they tried to weasel out of responsibility. I did get it fixed by them, but then they blacklisted me from doing work on my cars like it's somehow my fault. So I quit.

Since then I've been at 2 different locations and haven't made more than minimum wage at either. I can't really pay my bills and have reached up a 1000 in cc debt. Not a big deal because I should be making at minimum 4k a month, and will pay it off easy.

But man, I hate never having a Saturday off. All the things I like to do are on Saturdays. I never have a full weekend off. I hate cold calls, and since we are slow I'm expected to make cold calls. I hate them. I've always hated them. The stuff that I'm good at here that differentiated me at my other store someone else already does here. I hate being made to feel bad taking time off either for vacation or for sick time. I hate standing outside all day waiting around (adhd). I hate forced small talk.

I like helping customer's find the right fit. I like and am good at negotiating.

I've learned the grass isn't greener. Which I mostly expected to happen. I currently have a 22 Tesla model y. Which I love and is the only thing keeping me going at work because if I quit I would have to sell it.

Every day, at least 3 times, I think about how I could sell the model Y for 20k more than I paid for it (facts, long story) pay off our other car. Lower our bills to 900 less than my wife's take home pay and then use the rest to invest in self work. I think I could realistically make 1500 a month working for myself.

Should I try to find a different job? Should I stick it out because I'm always destined to hate my job, should I try working for myself?
