Antiwork

Feeling suffocated lately. (just a rant really.)

idk if this belongs to r/antiwork but here I go. I work as a credit risk analyst at a well known bank in my country and for the most part, I was ok with my job. Thing is, I'm from Myanmar and a quick google search will tell you how much of a shit show the country is in right now.

Oh yeah and the power outages are the norm now so I work hard at day, come home and sit in the dark then sleep (which may or may not come), wake up and go back to work again. Haven't really had time to relax at all for a while.

Both my mental and physical health are deteriorating and what little savings I have are dwindling. I am so lost honestly don't know what to do. This post is just me ranting to get things of my chest. At the end of the day, all I just want is to be paid more than “barely able to survive” when I do my job. Saddest thing is, I'm still one of the luckier people in my country.
