For real. My last job essentially let me go because my being depressed meant they weren't confident I could handle the workload of 2.5 people. Of course, they made that out to be my fault. Thanks guys, I'm worse now.
You sound really selfish, did you stop to think about your CEO and their vacation home before you decided to get dEPrESSed?
Not a big enough company for the owners to have vacation homes (only like 8 people so they were still very involved in the day-to-day), but one of them was talking about upgrading their riding mower a lot at the time. They were going to spend like 9 grand to cut their mowing time from 3 hours to 1 hour 45 minutes. All I could think was "lol, why not just restore most of that grass to native grassland and never think about it again?"
Yeah well maybe if you stopped getting sick they could buy a vacation home.
OOHHH very true, didn't think of that. I'll definitely try to be more considerate next time.
I'm really sorry, dude. I really wish corporations weren't so soulless. :(
I was worried about this same exact thing happening, so I buckled down, pulled as hard as I could on my boot straps, did the work of 4 people for a few months, then quit without notice. I was the only person left on my team at the time so I'm sure they're scrambling lol.
If I had the perspective then that I do now, I probably would have at least tried to do similar. At the time though I thought it was my dream job and blamed myself for feeling like I wasn't meeting expectations. My crippling social anxiety (also just depression?) making it darn near impossible to ask for help… well, that didn't help either.
Am I the only one here who actually enjoys what I do?
i'm a musician and i enjoy it, but i have a fucking morning gig in an hour and i need more coffee.
i hate mornings. i mean i know why i chose this gig (my instrument costs more than my car and they let me play theirs for free) but like. more coffee please.
I would probably enjoy what I do, if I did it
I absolutely have experienced this before, but you know what's even scarier than seeking a new job? Having no money. That's one way to cure jobaphobia real damn quick.
Absolutely understandable.
Totally not worth it having a job 😭
Facing my fears 5 days 35-40 hours a week.
And we conquer that fear daily.
Many could be tempted to attribute that to our bravery, our grit, our resolve.
They'd be overlooking the simple explanation that some of us fear hunger and cold slightly more than we do the grueling and backbreaking 9-to-howlongisitreallyfuckineedtosleep hours.
Life is gonna be hard and short unless you've got people paying for ya.
That's the reality for humans through out history. Problem now is that industrialized agriculture created billions of us, and then capitalism seized control and destroyed communities in order to exploit us.
I guess thats a way to look at it
I don't mind a job, but I do have a fear of having a shitty job.
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
