This might be more of a vent to be honest. Why does work feel like an endless loop? At least now more than ever for me. Working at Burger King, I enjoy the job but at times it feels draining and I just dread the shifts. But then for the amount of time I spend applying to other jobs on LinkedIn and Indeed, I never hear a response back. Working in retail has left me with the mindset of people pleasing for my employers even if it means burning myself out. I’ve got a bachelorette party this weekend and I work the very next day, but the idea of going in to work the next day fills me with dread. Part of me yearns to call out with “food poisoning” to give myself a chance to rest, relax, and jump back into job applications yet again. And yet, I don’t want to risk my job and I don’t want to risk upsetting my employers despite thinking I’m one of the good ones. To be honest, more often than not I’ve got the mindset of working as much as I can just to please my employers.
