Antiwork

Think I need to quit this job although I’ve already quiet quit. They marketed this job as strategic but all I’ve been doing is detail oriented shit that I can’t deal with and don’t have a mind for. I was already anxious about taking over a data process when I’m not a data analyst, but then my boss told me I had to be responsible on my days off. No thanks! The look when I said “that won’t be happening”….priceless but also concerning for my job.

I hate working in general. But I would much rather be working from the comfort of my own home 5 days a week than in some workplace. At home I don't have to worry about commute, using a public restroom, pretending to look busy, I can use my personal devices during downtime, I don't have to prep a meal and I can cook healthier options. I can do chores throughout the week instead of doing them all on the weekend. There are so many benefits to remote work I have no intention of working at a workplace ever again. Even if I am not qualified for remote work I'll do my best to apply for wfh only jobs.

I’ve been in a corporate job for the last four years and change, about a year and a half ago, management changed and it has been…ridiculous. I’ve finally found a new position elsewhere, and will be leaving early next year(for tax simplicity and planning purposes). I’m in a career where the two weeks notice is generally waived, but the company is so short staffed, I can’t imagine they wouldn’t let me work it, but I also don’t really want to do awful manager any favors. Do I: Offer notice Email manager and all upper management my resignation(effective immediately) with the reasons for my leaving Disappear and leave them completely hanging and simultaneously burn the bridge

A bottle of water can be .50 cents at a supermarket. $2 at the gym. $3 at the movies and $6 on a plane. Same water. Only thing that changed it's value was the place. So next time you feel your worth is nothing, maybe you're at the wrong place.

Of course I hate work. And if I could, I would never work a day in my life. But unfortunately I have to to survive lol. I’ve run into problems with my current job, and it’s basically the straw that broke the camels back. I’ve been applying to a bunch of jobs, but then you go to read the reviews of the job and it’s pretty 50/50 on it being horrible or awesome. I’ve had a lot of shitty work environments, bad managers, toxic places. Im so tired of it. Im just wondering, in the mean time, is there any companies that are kind of okay? That kind of treat them employees like humans? That pay well? And respect work life balance? It feels like I’ll never find what I’m looking for.

I know this probably happens a lot. My wife is seriously ill, to the point of fainting at work. They still expect them to show up, which I guess I understand (Everyone is telling me that’s normal) but like. My wife is sobbing because they’re going to be fired. My wife has been coughing, vomiting, unable to stand— why do they want my wife to go in if my wife can’t work efficiently? My wife has had their ass slapped, things thrown at them, screamed at to the point of breakdowns, all of this in “jest” apparently and it just. Horrible there. Yet the corporation wonders why so many people leave? Just needed to vent.
