So I used to do a more manual type labour job but it paid shit, I worked long hours but I was hardly ever ‘truly’ bored. However, the life on that pay was just not sustainable so I re-schooled and now work for a big corporate.
I had this illusion that I would be working with all kinds of smart people who are motivated to do stuff, that I can learn from and with. But the reality is, I now have a bit higher pay and perhaps better working benefits. But, each day I am bored to tears.
There is fucking jackshit to do but there are shitloads of boring meetings and you almost feel guilty for them not providing you with things to do. This feeling like ‘Am I doing Enough blabla’.
I don’t even hate work, I have plenty of interests. But 40 hours being monitored on Slack, having to be somewhere or be ‘on duty’ is just boring beyond belief. Fuck this scam. On the verge of a ‘bore-out’ not burnout.
Time for a change soon.
