Antiwork

What do I do? The usual feelings of burnout and anxiety I’ve ignored for years are coming back with this new job.

I've spent over 10 years working, I hate working. I have never enjoyed any job I had, I have no interest in college/higher learning due to actually trying it and determining that it's not for me. I just started this new call center job where I take messages for funeral directors and I hate it already. Two months in and I'm ready to call it quits, looking for a new job but it's going to be the same wherever I go. My partner cannot work, he is physically and mentally unable to. We need the money and I don't have a choice but do this because the pay is decent and we cannot be homeless. Just not an option. I work remote. I'm about to go into rotation soon and I'm so burnt out and exhausted; I experience deep, deep boredom and understimulation during work that I've had to start…


I've spent over 10 years working, I hate working. I have never enjoyed any job I had, I have no interest in college/higher learning due to actually trying it and determining that it's not for me.

I just started this new call center job where I take messages for funeral directors and I hate it already. Two months in and I'm ready to call it quits, looking for a new job but it's going to be the same wherever I go. My partner cannot work, he is physically and mentally unable to. We need the money and I don't have a choice but do this because the pay is decent and we cannot be homeless. Just not an option.

I work remote. I'm about to go into rotation soon and I'm so burnt out and exhausted; I experience deep, deep boredom and understimulation during work that I've had to start drawing in a notebook while I wait for calls because if I do nothing I'll just start screaming inside my head.

I can't afford to quit; I cannot go back to outside work due to severe anxiety about being around people. Working remote is the only great decision I've made but I still hate working. The anxiety is still there.

I can't quit, my partner is sick, we need money. What the fuck do I do? I'm about to sob and I have to work in 5 minutes.
