I’m not sure if this belongs here:
My team has just been told our director is leaving. This is the 2nd director I’ve had in as many years; others on the team have been through 2-3 more. Why? Upper management is a shit show, doesn’t understand what we do, bends under every client temper tantrum, refuses to provide adequate resources for our work load and keeps piling it on. There’s more but I’m trying to be vague.
I probably can’t leave; I can’t take a pay cut and doubt I’ll find a similar paying job in my area. I’ll look for sure but I’m not expecting any success.
In the meantime… how do I disconnect my sense of self with my work? How can I reach that place where I do my work, clock out at the end of the day, and stop giving a shit about a place that doesn’t care about it’s employees? I’ve been at the junction where I don’t care but I’m pissed for a while now, and being pissed all the time is exhausting.
