My job is making me so unhappy

[SaageGreen]

...and I don't know what to do.

I have reduced my hours to 0.4. I have read books and blogs about career change. I have journalled and even vision-boarded. I have engaged with career change coaches (it was all "imagine you have a year off with all your bills paid - what would you do?" and I don't get anywhere).

I am bitter and angry. And back at work tomorrow

Are you bitter and angry generally, or just at work? Is it people you work with? Or the pointless bollocks?

I am also not a fan of work currently.... And have also reduced my hours to as much as I can get away with.

I'm bitter and resentful about work, and it spills over in to my everyday life, especially as it gets closer to my work days.

I am in a team of three, and the others don't pull their weight for different reasons and management don't help at all. I arranged a meeting to discuss it and emphasise how much it's effecting my work, and it was an hour of my manager telling me how difficult her job is. I ended up consoling and coaching her.

I no longer believe in the work I am doing. I've lost any passion for it.

I fucking hate WFH. I have done it for so long now and I am so lonely.

Stop picking up the slack for starters.

Wfh is really hard. Do you get out everyday for some exercise or social interaction?

I tried this until I realised I had no back-up from management. Now I just pick up all of the slack and find it far less stressful than fighting it. I stopped saying "we have done X" and started saying, "I have done X". Work are just glad it's done, they don't want anyone telling tales.

I go for a run before work and I make sure I go out to the shops to see people at lunch and often bump in to someone I know for a chat. But yes, that's not really enough compared with 8 hours at the laptop.

I was just clearing out my Watching list and found this old thread of mine. I thought I would post an update.

I handed my notice in about a week after posting here, and left in the New Year. I have had a few temporary jobs since then but not found anything permanent. I still lack direction or purpose but I haven't regretted my decision once.
