Really curious if it's just me. The first 6 months are a time of learning and adjusting and getting to know people. It's great. Always feel positive and engaged. Then around the 8month mark suddenly everything shifts and going to the office is torture. At 10 months i start looking for other opportunities and at 12 im gone. It's like clockwork. The routine of it all becomes so tedious. The same route to work. The same people. The same weird misunderstandings and confusion and horrible conversations with managers.
I feel like im playing the shittiest, longest game of musical chairs ever and it all ends with me at some horrible onboarding event in the conference room of some random tech startup and i keel over dead from a brain aneurysm. My eulogy will read “here lies another casualty of modern neo-liberalism. He spent his entire adult life faking it until he ate it.”
