I don’t care about my job anymore: my boss bores me and constantly tries manipulating me so I work more for the same money, half of my coworkers are morons (the other half are fine), clients are demanding and entitled asses. All I think of is excuses not to work, but I don’t have enough stamina to quit and find something else. It’s like I’m the main character in office space.

Sometimes I think I should be fired because that would force me to snap out of it and find something I might enjoy, but every job is going to be sh*t like the one I have now. I’m following the path of least resistance.

I work because I need money but I’ve decided I’m gonna half ass it as much as I can and call in sick as much as I can because what’s the effing point? I’m gonna get paid anyways and nothing ever changes: my boss is not going to get rid of his gang of favorites, is always going to believe them over those who want to keep the distance, they’re going to get away working less because the boss likes them and I’m the asshole working more for the same money.

Another question: If your work includes dealing with the public, have you noticed how they’re increasingly demanding? I don’t know if I’m the only one feeling like this. It’s like spring brings out the stupid side of people.

    Friend, I’m gonna give it to you straight and simple, cause I’ve been there… that sounds like burn out. You need to a) figure out a way to take a medical leave b) seek professional mental help (even just meds to get you up and running so you can seek more long term help). If you absolutely cannot do the former, you have to do your quiet quitting while you seek help, so you can land on your feet when the inevitable happens.

      Yes. Take care of yourself first. And then look for another job ASAP

    I’m in your boat, dude. In my company, every month, there’s at least one coworker resigning. A lot of them were with us since the beginning. Now most of my friends there are gone.

    A lot of them are replaced by new faces, whom I barely even have the energy to get to know. For some, we couldn’t even find a proper replacement, the management decided to canibalize someone from other teams, one of which is mine, which cause my team to become understaffed.

    This month, one I’m quite close with is resigning. I’m in the same batch of recruitment as her.

    At the moment, I’m looking for new job. I know currently my job is safe simply because they’re desperate for help, but still… It’s fucking depressing, man.

    In addition to what more patient people add I will say magnesium and potassium are not in multivitamins and perk you right up. also eat more protein and fiber a lot more. won’t fix work we need something else for that. but it will give you those cool long wizard dreams
