Do you enjoy your job? (piefed.social)

I am not in a comfortable situation in mine. It is a bit toxic tbh. The rest of it seems normal - so many meetings, everyone fumbling around trying to meet the goals that shift around. I do like the parts where I get to write code though:-).

Nobody enjoys 100% of every day and every activity. But do you enjoy your job... mostly?

I enjoyed my last job, until I didn't. I decided to leave and live off my savings for a few months. It was the best decision I ever made for my mental health. More than a few months later, I'm still looking for a job, but with a better understanding of what I want in a job.

Now, do I actually think I'm going to find exactly what I'm looking for? Probably not lol. But whatever. I do know there is no reason to stay at a job you don't like, and every time I change jobs, I like to think I'm getting closer to one I can stand long-term.

Don't take my advice. I am a stranger on the internet.

I did the same thing and had the same outcome. Exiting the rat race may have saved my life even. But now it's been two years and I'm broke after attempting numerous methods of income. Still trying though..
