I am completely checked out of my job and don’t care if I get fired

I’ve been done with this job since the beginning of the pandemic. The monotony, the incompetence of the executive team, the long hours working until 2-3 a.m. Only to watch the company slowly crumble. A few months ago it got sold to an even more incompetent company, like 10x worse. Almost all of the former executives have quit (probably in fear of losing their job) and many more have been let go. The acquiring company has made it abundantly clear they don’t give a fuck about us and everything has been a complete disaster. Half of my team (accounting) has quit and they have done nothing to try and replace anyone. They just dumped work of people who left onto other team members and now they’re working 12 hour days trying to get stuff done. They tried to get me to do someone else’s job, but I refused and it…

They tried to get me to do someone else’s job, but I refused and it looks like now they’re finally taking the initiative to hire someone.

Doesn’t matter though, because we’re almost 2 months behind on work and it takes talking to several different people for approvals to get anything done. I’ve been burned out for almost 2 years and I can’t muster up any more fucks, I’m all out of them. I wish they would just fire me so I can do nothing but work on my stuff for school (going back so I can sit for the CPA exam), focus my energy on applying to other jobs and preparing for interviews and just fucking relaxing a little. The only reason I won’t quit is in the hopes I can get unemployment when I get fired. I feel like I’m going to snap and curse out my managers every day, it’s becoming very difficult to bite my tongue.
