I work for a pretty large company and keep getting asked to restructure things and make things that no one else in my same job class is ever asked to do. When I finish those things I don’t even get a thank you, let alone helped with anything like more pay or better career opportunities. It’s soul sucking to work there and I know I could get paid better somewhere else but this job has decent benefits and pays for my schooling. I’ve thought about demoting myself or just mentally detaching more but I’m unsure the best way to do any of those things.
Work is crushing and I want to create and learn more than anything but my brain is so anxious about the next thing at work I’m tasked with completing that it seems impossible to focus on things I love.
