I make 100k a year (in my country that is filthy rich amount), have total freedom in my job, WFH most days, and don’t put in a lot of hours.
I always worked so hard at my corporate job, covid hit and I fell into a depression. I started doing less and less at work, and thought surely, anytime now, I will be fired. But… nobody even noticed.
Got promoted, twice, and honestly do even less now, while being told I do a great job. Which means, my work is meaningless, nobody noticed when I was giving it my all, nobody notices when I put in the bare minimum and watch netflix in bed all day.
It’s soul sucking and I hate it. But I also know it I do something that makes me happier, I will never again have a salary and the time like this to support my family. I feel trapped and just don’t see the point of these corporate roles that add absolutely no value.
