Hi Reddit,
I've come to realize recently that I hate the concept of working, perhaps similar to a lot of people here. I've had only 1 job since graduation and I was full of energy, tried to challenge myself, show eagerness, and deliver beyond expectations. No 3 years later I've been reduced down to working only at the absolute minimally required. I don't try to bring more to the table than what is expected as much as I did anymore. I find my managers are full of passion who always strive to bring greatness to their company and clients.
My workplace is good. It pays well, it treats employees well, there are no dramas, everyone is professional, culture is great. But everyone is an overachiever and I struggle to push myself beyond of what's asked.
If possible I'd not work for the entire of my life, but we need money to survive. That's exactly the only driver for me. But I fear that this mindset means I won't be able to reach higher ranks as they passion-driven to build and lead the company.
I'm only 26, my dad told me I have to work hard while I'm still young and don't really understand why I am feeling the way I feel. Is it depression? Apathy? Someone told me I might be autistic. Or maybe I just hate work in general and finds it exhausting becoming a part of the “working society”.
How does everyone manage and any advice..? Thank you in advance
