I hate working from the bottom of my heart.

It feels like everyday I get up just to go to work and count down the time until I get to leave. When I leave work on Fridays, it always sets in that the weekend is going to go quickly, and I feel so much guilt for not “appreciating my free time properly”. I wake up early in the morning before work and stay up way too late at night just to feel like I have some sort of free time.

It’s not that I dislike my job; I, for the most part, like my coworkers and the work is easy; I just generally hate spending so much time working. I need the paycheck to pay my bills and rent, but that is my only incentive to keep going everyday. I do not know how to cope with this dreadfulness anymore. How do people do this for decades upon decades ?

"Hard work always pays off" is the worst kind of propaganda. Keeps you working thinking that the payoff is going to come when in reality it never does. Some people just get lucky.

Is this a job or a career? Having a career where you can build up your knowledge continously especially when you enjoy what you're enjoying makes work fulfilling but if you have a job for the sake of paying the bills then yea I can see how that can get depressing eventually.

I work from home, and I used to dread traveling by bus or train. In my last job, I had to commute for about an hour and a half each way. Thankfully, I don’t have to do that anymore.

I work in insurance, where I used to take calls to help customers purchase car insurance. Last month, I applied for a position in live chat support, and I got the job! Now, instead of speaking to customers on the phone, I copy and paste scripts and answers to their questions and needs. You know when you see a live chat support option on a website? That's what I'm doing now.

I have one screen for work and a second screen for watching shows, anime, gaming, and sports. The pay isn't great, but I love my job!

I listen to music and type in response to questions.

I don’t get why we can’t do 1 week on and 1 week off it makes more sense.

No. You all need to do 996 work culture.

It's because you're Black. Blacks are lazy, unambitious, and view life to chillax. It's one of the main reasons why your countries and diaspora communities are not thriving like others. Get hobbies to do on the weekend and after work. Why do you waste your free time?
