I’m so burnt out. I hate my job, my coworkers are so fucking incompetent. They just want me to be mommy, clean up after them, make sure their projects are on track, but they never want to do the things I ask of them, are incredibly resentful when I push back, and they CERTAINLY don’t want to pay me to be mommy. I’m sick of it. A few years ago I would’ve just quit and found another job in a matter of weeks, but the economy is so fucked up now that I’m afraid of leaving without something lined up, and it’s taking months to find a new one. When I was laid off a few years ago it was so scary to be without income, and that only took me 5 months (which was still long - it used to take me maybe 4 weeks?) to find another job. My partner just got over a layoff - it took them 2 YEARS to find something adequate. I just feel miserable. It’s such a privilege to be employed right now, and I’m even one of those freaks who likes to work but my job is just making me feel insignificant and depressed.
