How to get out of corporate? OR How do I get over how I feel about corporate?
I have never written a Reddit post so please bear with me. Not sure how formatting and all this works but I really need some support.
I’m 28 and I’ve been working for a large sportswear company for the past 5-6 years. From the moment I started I was overwhelmed and crying every day. I thought I’d get use to corporate jargon, being in office, and people trying to crawl over everyone to get to the top. I’ve had many roles at the company and I’ve always felt the same way. Recently I took a job I hate more than life itself like this job might have me ending up on short term disability. Sadly I have to stay in this role for a year. Im losing my mind! I cry daily. I hate life because of work. I understand that I have a great job and I should be grateful. I feel so selfish saying that I can’t handle everything but I seriously can’t.
On another note is the feeling of being trapped. Like how can I possibly make more money freelancing or with social media. Like I have no clue where to turn or what is the next step. Im genuinely scared know that I can’t handle something but I have to till it breaks me.
Do you all have any advice for getting out of this? Or how to cope better? I know some will say this is what you have to do to afford your life - GET OVER IT. Basically saying to quite quit (I have already done that).
Any advise will help!
