I have a good job, with a nice boss and great manager. It’s considered low stress and it’s a field I enjoy.
So why am I so miserable? I’m constantly overwhelmed and stressed, but when I Google low stress jobs, my job title pops up. I feel like I don’t have free time even though I work from home and therefore don’t waste time on travel. I have a good amount of annual leave despite this being an entry position. No one checks my work, no one checks my hours. I even got an Amazon voucher for my birthday.
The system sucks and I feel like a failure for being unhappy while technically in a really good position. I can’t imagine working 5 days a week, 9-5 until I retire or die. I found myself a therapist to try and work on this, because therapy is cheaper than unemployment, but this really doesn’t feel like a long term solution.
