I'm in generic IT job loosely related to cloud role and my tasks are quite simply administrating for the company, though I get paid quite generously for the amount of work that I do (which is quite less lol).. The higher ups hardly know what I do everyday, I guess they just wanted to fill the position so I was hired on the spot, kind of like “If it works out, good, if it doesn't, we'll just look for another fish in the sea”.. I adjusted fairly quickly and since then, they keep giving me a steady flow of incentives to retain me at the company and I honestly have no complains so far
What started bugging me is a few weeks back, when I was introduced to some other coworkers in development / programmers basically.. they get overworked like crazy and are always staying an hour or two more even after their office hour ends. They work under constant pressure of deadlines, their project lifecycle, always on edge about getting a call from the client or manager to fix or change shit at the last minute and there is so much other crap that i can't even remember.. hearing them out only made me realise how cozy my job is but ever since then I've been feeling down like i don't deserve to be where I am.. it's hard to explain really
This feeling is undermining me in a sense that my other coworkers who make about 3% more than me are working their asses off, plus working extra time while I just sit in my cubicle and devote like an hour or two everyday and get paid for the whole day.. I can't even remember the last time i stayed even an hour late after work.. and while most of my days are quite uneventful, hardly anything happens, very rarely when some dumbass breaks stuff, it brings heat from the management on me but it has only happened twice & I took measures for it to never happen again
I really look up to this subreddit, so I hope I can find some answers haha.. if someone feels the same way as i do or maybe did in the past, etc. I hope to get rid of this weird guilt that has attached to me and enjoy living my life back how I was.
Have a great and enjoyable day y'all! Remember to take care of yourself first!
