Hi. My whole life, longest I can remember I worked in same place was maybe 1 and a half year. I don't live to work. I work to live a decent life.
Mid March, I came back to my old job, after 1 year break, when I was some where else. First half year was amazing. But, private life mixed with a coworker who was later fired for sexual harrasment made my health spiral down. I knew something is up with him, but I couldn't tell what. One reason, language barrier and google translate was not much helpful. My old boss decided to let me go, before I had a chance to solve my problem. Trough grape wine, I found out about ex-coworker and it was like a click in my head. I knew my instincts about him was wright. But, was too late.
Meanwhile, another ex-coworker called me to go back at my old place. I said I need to think about it, because I have mid May planned to travel back home, for a wedding (my cousin) and to see family and friends. I knew that if I go back is only for 2 Months. Long term is not the job for me. I hate it, and I know I can find something better.
Meanwhile, my girlfriends are saying I should not change again my job. I should be thankfull I have one, even if on long term is not good for my health, that my mental health problems can be solved without medicine and so on. It makes me not wanting to talk with them anymore about work. I have a doctor and a therapist. Their opinion matter for me, because it is their job to help me solve my problems. Maybe doesn't look good on my CV all this job hoping. Maybe I can't afford a life of luxury, but I have all my needs covered. And I am happy with my life as it is. I don't dream of a big house and the latest, best car. I already have my small apartment, an old but reliable car and no worry that I can't buy my groceries and other necesities. I have a good health insurance (european here) and I don't understand why should I work as a slave if the job doesn't bring me any joy?
Is it wrong to want to have a job that makes me happy, even if that means I earn enough to live comfortably?
Edit some typos. And also english is my 2-nd language.
