I’ve had a lot of jobs including warehouse, factory, retail, restaurant, admin, wfh + self employment . I’ve enjoyed every job I’ve had somewhat, never hated any and was just glad to be making money (so I could focus on my actual life) but I would just leave when I had enough . But part of this influence was people’s, namely my friends and family, disrespect and patronising comments
My family have had a problem with every single job I’ve had, they’re always nagging and giving me unsolicited advice. whenever I worked in a warehouse they looked down on me and it was “do something nice, work in a café” I’d work in a café and it was “you’re smart, get a career work in an office” I work in an office and it was “you’re creative, you need to expand your horizons, start a business” now I have a business (not because of them, because I wanted to) I’m passionate about and do freelance work I love and they say I don’t work or it’s not a real job ️ because I enjoy it I guess??? because they’re boomers who dont get the concept of online work even tho that’s what so many “office jobs” are??
I can’t stand people who hate their jobs yet make it their whole personality and purpose. So they have to project their insecurities onto everyone else . I don’t rly understand it but its like they want you to improve yourself – thru their personal or classist lens – but not so much that they get jealous? They want everyone to be miserable like them? I’ve learned to just tune it all out and ignore them. Love your job or hate your job just shut the fuck up caring about other people’s so much 🤣
