I've got a pretty f'ing sweet gig — well paying (>$135K/yr; more than 2x my last salary), fully remote permanently, chill AF boss, low pressure, self-paced work on the biz side of the org at a high growth startup that only cares about the product team with all the benefits to bust (insurance, WFH stipends, stocks etc). and yet, and still, I do not like working. AT ALL. opening up my laptop pains me. i can't even force myself to do more than 1 hour of work per day, seriously i probably put in about 5 hours of work per week. i'm lucky in that my position is kinda swept under the rug. i feel nothing. granted I couldn't care less for our product — it's just a utility site.
so even with this pretty sweet and comfy job, I don't want it. i want out. i'm only 29, no kids, living in NYC. wtf is in store for me down the road. is it just… this…forever?? the internet keeps telling me i'm depressed but i'm not. i have a fucking zeal for life once the weekend hits. i'm typing this post at 3pm on a friday in hopes that it'll burn down the clock. my only question is: does anyone else feel this way at a comfortable job? and jfc how do you get out of it?
