My job is not nearly as bad as the horror stories I read on this subreddit. But still, I worked so hard in college in hopes of landing a good job with good pay but I can barely afford rent and live paycheck to paycheck.
My 1 year raise does not even match the rate of inflation, the work I do provides me zero fulfillment, and being crammed in my small cubicle for 8 hours with 5 other people and no window is making lose my mind.
It’s just so fucking depressing. I just thought there would be more to life than this…. I have hobbies but no time to do them outside of work. And when I get home from work I just feel drained and become complacent on doing nothing except making dinner for myself….
I know this comes off as really pessimistic and privileged but seriously if anyone could share some coping skills they’ve learned through out the years that would be highly appreciated.
