this is both cute encouragement and soul crushing. Like when they landscapes on the wall of your amazon facility to make it feel like you are one with nature.

>when you realize you cannot stop waging

Im getting burn out too. My last stint was 9 months and Im 6 months into this one. I think once I get to a year I'm gonna tap out and find something else. Honestly IT kind of sucks and I regret getting into it but it pays more than other industries.

Anyways anon I feel your pain. Im not in the position where I can just stop waging but I hate it.

We have really tight SLAs even though we are tier 3 (so we have really complicated questions/issues). I am currently on two separate projects that are extremely time consuming and I dont see a viable way forward on either of them. My manager and her underling ping me constantly asking for daily updates on all my tickets and criticize me if I dont put enough detail in them even though no one gives a shit about them.

The manager is pushing us super hard because they get a bonus or some shit but its really demoralizing.

We have daily stand up calls that go on for an hour or more, my day starts with 2 hours of pointless meetings. In the daily stand up we get criticized for how we handle our tickets and will sometimes spend the entire hour literally going over every ticket currently in the que and being micromanaged on how to handle them. It honestly fucking sucks and every day I wake up with a pit of nerves in my stomach over this job. Recently Ive just stopped giving a fuck which has helped out but still I cant help but feel like shit about it.

The worst part is the first 3 months were great and chill and then suddenly we got all this bullshit and pressure.

whatever you do, never, ever go into software consulting. its this but on steroids.

i have this too (but not the daily stand ups, i think i would actually quit on the spot if they added that to the top of my current shitpile of a job.)

ive tried not giving a shit about my work lately but its really toug. i wouldn't be a codemonkey if i didn't give a shit about codemonkeying, its how i got good enough at it to get the job... the reality is i do care, and making myself not care about it is really hard.

my first two years were chill af too, but then we got this project from hell and it has ended up coloring the rest of my stay with its energy (the color of that energy being a very murky brown.)
i absolutely cannot wait till i can just throw in the towel and take a break from waging, i really really need to figure out how to differentiate between comfy places and the cringe sweatshops. the worst part is you absolutely cannot tell this by looking at the people at the company. everyone is super chill, then this job comes from nowhere and turns everything to shit.

Just become homeless. Problem solved.

Yeah I dont want to get into consulting at all it looks miserable. I just want a comfy high paying job with little stress but its seems like that is impossible these days. I really miss the days where I was just a level 1 tech running around re-imaging computers and resetting passwords

Not giving a shit is really hard. I still do on some level but Ive realized I just cant care too much or Ill literally die. I have bad anxiety and Id really like to not go on meds because of this fucking job so Im just not gonna give a shit anymore and if they fire me then they fire me. What has helped me is meditating and getting out of the house when I can, along with daily walks.

Are you looking for another job?

absolutely. my latest estimate suggests that im gonna go full schizo in t minus 6 months. the problem with being a consultant is that you are a literal codemonkey. youre not really a web devver, youre not really a hardcore binary/c/c++ guy, youre not really a cloud guy, youre not really devops, youre not really infosec... youre just a "consultant".
we rub shoulders with EE types, so were kind of low level software-types here. but i only recently woke up to this difficulty of actually marketing myself after waging here for so long. ive dicked about with so many tools when solving hyper-specific problems, but ive never even written a single application in my life. like, jesus.
its not even a matter of money/income, but an actual problem of personal ego - forget showing stuff to others, what do i show myself? what have i even "made" after all these years? i want to be able to have an answer to this question, if only for my own stupid self.

it's probably shopped and the kitten is an inch above the ground

On your resume you can make the job title whatever you want. It doesnt have to be consultant. It can be whatever you feel like actually fits your job skills. Even if they run a background check people know that internal job titles and external job titles are different. My current title is pretty general (Systems Engineer) but when I put myself out on the market in a few months Im going to call myself a cloud engineer because thats what Im actually doing.

Maybe if you buy some Vita Inu you will get some bitching riding your dick instead of riding your father's wealthy cock

And if you stop working, you won't be able to get laid. Unless you're 19-23, where the flexibility of your schedule will be a bonus, and your relative potential will make up for your lack of actuality.

Past 25 though, you have to have something going to even catch a whiff of pussy.
