Antiwork

I got demoted at my job and I’m so relieved.

The job description didn’t tell me how involved I was going to need to be, how much I’d have to study court proceedings and basic law and finances and math for $16 an hour. I did it for two and a half weeks after a month of training and I was immediately thrown into a panic and couldn’t keep up. My call volume was so high that sometimes I would accidentally get thrown back into the queue while I started my note for the last call, and ended up juggling two. I’m adhd and severely depressed and anxietal. I couldn’t do it. Today I had a breakdown and told my boss I can’t do it. He and HIS boss took me aside and asked the problem. Boss’s boss doesn’t understand, my numbers are fantastic apparently. I explain my problems. I ask to go back to the job I was doing…

Boss’s boss doesn’t understand, my numbers are fantastic apparently. I explain my problems. I ask to go back to the job I was doing before the intense training. She asks to get back to me.

An hour later, she says they’re happy to put me back on the low volume line. No one stays there usually. Everyone upgrades. I’m ecstatic. I’m not dreading work tomorrow. I can just reset passwords and chill. Fuck high stress work. It’s not worth it.
