I hate my job and I work from home. For the past 3 months or so, I’ve been pulling back and being less productive on purpose. Now I’m planning on just doing the bare minimum and nothing more. For my job that means going to the meetings I’m scheduled for and doing the 8 hours a week of tracked work I need to do, but that’s about it. The rest of my time is nebulous “projects” that I squeeze out as fast as possible but make it seem like they took a lot longer. All together, it’s about 20 hours of actual work, but they are paying me for a full time job.
I’m feeling guilty about it. I’m worried it makes me a bad person or that my co-workers will think I’m a bad person because it is obvious that I’m no longer performing at the level I was before. How do I get rid of this guilt?
