I am only at this job because I am remote. I hate it now. My manger is a micromanager and he is insufferable to work with. I am so burnt out, you can hear it in my voice.

It is to the point i’ve been considering leaving corporate america completely. The thought of doing this bs, just at another company makes me feel miserable. I recently received another job offer but it was a substantial pay cut and title cut. I ended up not accepting it, but wondering if I made a mistake.

I dread working everyday. It is hard because people tell me I need to be grateful I even have a job and they wished they had my job, etc. I am in therapy trying to deal with this. I have hobbies and a life outside of work but life from M-F feels insufferable.

I have so much anxiety all day. Anytime I have meetings I am overwhelmed with anxiety. I get endless tasks put on my plate all day.

Hey everyone,

Currently having a really hard time at work and my manager is a big micromanager. I also have multiple disabilities and will be taking it further as I believe I’m being treated unfairly.

However the economy is in shambles and I have rent to pay, with no one else to support me. How do you cope getting through the work day? I have hyperactive ADHD so I find it extremely hard to not call things out/speak up.

What are your tips for when you’ve had enough but can’t leave? Thank you

i recently quit my full time job after going back and forth about it for months. the work environment had gotten pretty toxic and my new manager was a huge micromanager, and i was honestly just miserable going to work every day.

at the same time, i’m in college and trying to actually prioritize school and finish my degree. working 40 hours a week while keeping up with my classes was becoming way too much, so i finally decided to leave and focus on college instead.

i felt SO relieved when i first quit, but now that it’s actually done i keep having moments where i’m like… did i really just quit my stable full time job?? 😭 i plan on getting a part time job on campus that allows downtime where i can work on assignments! im thankful for my partner. we’ve had so many discussions about this & he gave me his full support so i can focus on school. im thankful he is taking care of most of our larger expenses. i have enough money saved as well. i graduate in may and plan on finding a job in my field. but part of me is like omg i cant believe i quit a stable job.

i’m curious if anyone else has done something similar. did you quit a full time job or take a big pay cut to focus on school? how did it work out for you? do you feel like it was worth it?

I wake up each morning thinking why I chose dentistry. There's absolute zero motivation, just going with the flow. I think there should be a reward for still working what you don't like.

I really feel like I want to do this and that.but somehow I feel like I'm not showing much responsibility,It's not because I don't have interest in my job, actually I like my job.....but something is holding from my back.will it be because of my team?or my laziness? I don't know.....I used to sit day and night to complete things previously,but now I'm behaving like this.

Need some support guys...I want to understand the root cause behind it.is anyone feeling the same?

I was working as a lead at my previous clinic but my commute was an hour and 20 minutes with traffic. I actually liked my coworkers but I figured I should take a job that is closer. Mind you, I have been trying to get out of the ABA field for a long time. I've been an RBT for 3 years now, I have job hopped, but I know deep down this is NOTTTT what I want to do. This is just a job until I go to school again.

I was getting guaranteed 40 hours at my regular rate. Now I am starting over at this new clinic, and admin/non-billable is at $7.25...This made me feel so depressed. I am supposedly shadowing for the whole week for $7.25????? On top of this I have been going through personal things, and I called in sick today and tomorrow. I regret leaving where I was comfortable, but it is SO hard to find a new job that is not ABA related. I've tried milking my administrative parts of my job and I have applied to more than 15 jobs now. I am so depressed from starting over, mourning the loss of my friend, and not getting compensated fairly. Is anyone else on the same boat? I want to crash out so bad but I have been in been just rotting with this awful cough and body aches. I'm pretty sure if I don't show up with a doctor's note I will get written up LOL

Im burnt out. Ive been burnt out for months, I finally got a 1 week break after 8 months of working this job. I was harrassed by work the whole week i was off so its not even like i got a full mental break.

While applying to jobs is a full time job in and of itself, i still have to work this job thats sucking the life energy from me. It takes every ounce of will power to actually do the job and not just sit there silently on the phone until they hang up. It takes all of my energy to do. Its to the point where are every call i put myself on mute and then scream for a solid 30 seconds before i sit for a few minute to prepare myself for the next call. I find myself picking at my skin and hair as i take the call trying to calm my nervous system, even automatically without thinking

How do yall cope at work with a job that you can't leave but it makes your skin crawl, your blood pressure to elevate, and are drained from forcing yourself to do something you hate?

I got certified in something in order to go in different career direction. And then I got scared with everything going on in the country, and I dropped my plans I loved and took a “safe” job in the field I was trying to leave. So now I’m miserable everyday. Literally force myself to not quit everyday. I want to get back to my new field that I put a lot of time and money into becoming certified. But I still feel scared. And now that I took the job I feel like an asshole quitting so soon. I’m 55. Is it dumb to quit a perfectly good and good paying job - no matter how tedious and annoying and draining and unfulfilling it is? The cost of the certification - courses, test registration, etc - was probably $5,000. My spouse is disappointed that I gave up on my new path and encourages me to quit. I’m genuinely torn. Thoughts?

An old coworker told me that after I quit, the place fell apart. Nobody realized that I was doing like 3 different jobs and everyone was too burnt out to take any of these jobs on.

Managers had to step up and fill in, especially the one that was the biggest bully!

They have an additional manager now who nobody likes. He doesn’t fix anything, just adds on even more and pressures everyone to work faster.

I was never going to be happy to hear that everyone’s suffering, but I thought that at least knowing that the managers have to do my job/s would make me feel incredible.

Why do I feel so neutral?

I started this job last Thursday and already it's been hell. They keep refusing to fix my direct deposit issue so I can get paid, they won't fix my time clock so I can clock in and out, my supervisor yells at me anytime I ask about it.

She's also insanely vague when giving instructions and still gets angry when you do things in a specific way that won't tell you about, and just today, I got written up for me rolling my eyes at her after she yelled at me once again for following her vague orders the specific way she wants it. She also demands I work before I'm on the clock so there's that.

Not to mention they lied about my job position and my duties. I was told that I'd be working in assembly, but they changed my work position to shipping and receiving before I started work and they didn't tell me until my first day.

I don't think want to stay with this company for much longer, I'm normally not one to job hop, but this job has done a shit ton of damage to mental health thus far.

Most of us were never really taught how to build a life that can hold a career. Instead, we were taught to build our lives around one.
I think we should be aiming for a meaningful life, not just meaningful work. Expecting a single job to carry our identity, purpose, stability, and self-worth all at once feels like a setup for disappointment.

Hello everyone, my name is Enes and i just finished my LAP (Lehrabschlussprüfung) this summer🥳
Which technically is super good for a young dude in Switzerland, now i can officially continue working as a Car painter (Carrosserielackierer EFZ) after 4 years of apprenticeship.

That would be the best case, sadly i absolutely do NOT see myself on this Job anymore, i managed to fight and bight through my apprenticeship with a work-colleague of mine which helped me A LOT but i always knew this wasn‘t the Job for me, i only took this apprenticeship because i had no other choice.

Long Story short, since i was a lil dude i always seemed very interested in IT-Stuff, i‘ve build a couple of Computers in the past few years, been always a „Hobby-IT-Support“ for my family, and the best part is, i always loved doing it and helping them.
Every time i talked to someone who works in IT i always told them how much i wish i could do that for a living and so on.

This is like my last resort because i‘ve seen people finding the help they need on Reddit.
The thing is i have a Fix Workplace as a car painter, with a decent pay and a pretty good team ngl. But the problem is, i‘ve been working there for 6 Days know and its been absolut Hell for me, dont get me wrong the people are nice the machines are cool and stuff, but im literally crying because i cant do this Job anymore, its not my thing and i‘d rather die then continue working as a Car Painter.

I‘ve looked for some alternatives like the Benedict Private School where if you have an EFZ, you could start a new apprenticeship as a Informatiker EFZ (inkl. Praktikum ab dem 2. Semester) but another thing you need is 25‘000.- of cash as well, which i dont have.

I could technically work 1-2 years, save up the money and pay myself out of this misery, then i could work 2 years in a Praktikum and finish my second EFZ with 23/24 years old.

And another thing is, i‘ve thought of starting a praktikum for a year until i begin the private school, but there are 2 main problems. Nobody wants a Car painter to start as a IT-Praktikant, and even if i get a Praktikum? I wont have saved up enough money to start school either next year or in two years

But my problem is that i absolutely cannot see myself working 1-2 years in this job to save up money, the thing is im not particularly good at the job and i can sense that they have high expectations of me, everywhere, not just at this workplace.

If i would be more then decent at my job then i maybe somehow would get through it yk, but i somehow sense that im gonna get Fired during the Probezeit because of Lack of Leistung.

I just hope that somebody can help me or give me Tips on what i can do because i‘m really desperate and i don‘t know what i will do if they really do Fire me and i don’t have a Anschlusslösung.

Thank you everyone in advance.

P.S: i live in Kanton Zürich (Dietikon) if that helps somehow

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the suggestions and help, i‘ll try my best to respond to all of them after work since im suffering while painting cars rn😅

I’ve been working in industrial maintenance for 3 years and I’ve lost the passion for my job. All my life I’ve loved learning how things work and being able to take it apart and put back together again so when I graduated Highschool I choose maintenance as a field where I could do what I love. I went to school for maintenance and I flew through it. I loved learning about it but then I got a job doing it. At first I loved it, I got to work on machines and fabricate different things for projects but over the years I’ve become the catch all for every problem in the factory. My boss is very frustrating to work with or even talk to. Every thing is always my fault and I’m expected to solve every problem for everyone instantly. Anymore I don’t care about a single thing in that building. I don’t care how things work or if they ever will work. I’ve been throw under more busses than I can count and I was lied to about my pay since the beginning. I ignored the red flag of everyone leaving or quiet quitting and I think that I’ve lost the love of my trade

Been at my job for nearly 20 years. Work in retail. Worked my way up to be a manager of a couple of competitive units. Even relocated for this. Have tried several times to get promotion to the next step area/cluster manager and each time it’s a no. Now an opportunity has come up and they’ve moved a current area/cluster manager there meaning there’s a vacancy about 200 miles away so obviously I cannot apply. The distance for them to the new locale is equal to where they are now and will be so financially it’s still going to cost the business.

The leadership team say they are fond of me and rely on me for a lot of support but I’ll be damned if I ever get promoted. I’m so fed up and can’t move on as I am on legacy pay rates so going to another company would kill me financially. I do look for opportunities.

Just need to vent that I feel useless. Want to start a family and can’t. Want a mortgage but on debt. My life is a joke and I really can’t be bothered anymore.

End rant.

Stuck in the job i hate after work i am totally exhausted

Fuck my job at McDonald’s dude made a whole account for this cuz of how shit it is
