    Bro I’m at the point where I don’t care. Every week is worse than the last. They keep firing people when they make mistakes, hiring people throwing them in the deep end and if they swim they give them more until they sink, and if you can’t swim you’re fired.

    A whole bunch of other stuff I won’t say in case some s*** happens.

    Honestly bro I’m tired of being sick. S***and alcohol are the only things that make me feel anything these days. Weed just makes me think about work. I think my people are tired of seeing me sad and talking about work

    Bro I hate life right now. My whole life revolves around this place.

    Take some mushrooms on a weekend, then get back to work. You don't wanna quit without a plan. Count yourself fortunate that you at least have a job. It is HELL not knowing about when your next paycheck is gonna come so hang in there, start your own s*** on the side, but in the meantime, thug it out.

    Damn this is where I’m at with my joint, but probably multiple years into the wheel. I hate this mf on a “it hurts my personal health” level and I only been here since Feb 22 lmao

    If it was pre 2020 I’d be all for dumping this s*** and taking a leap of faith, but with the roller coaster economy and the inflation f***ery, I dunno man. Social safety net was already the size of a beach net, and they’re trying to shrink this b**** even more.

    You wind up on your ass nowadays and you’re f***ed

    Nah brodie , I feel your frustration but if you quit without having a backup plan and nothing fall through right away, you’re gonna be in an even worse situation. Come up with a good game plan and try to execute it to the best of your abilities. And then when the ball is rolling , you quit.

    I do it too, s*** like coughing put a lot of trauma on the body. Literally anything can open a small tear

    ....then talk to a doctor and get a strong decongestant or cough suppressant

    You might get cheap pharma grade lean if you're lucky

    Do not recommend psychedelics to someone in mental anguish like this. Or really for anything outside of the few conditions it's actually proven to treat jfc

    I think it depends on how much money you have to live off in the short term. I know people who lived off savings for awhile while fixing their s*** house they bought in 2021 just living off savings

    Yeah ima quit. I hate this s***. I had an interview and idk why I would work for him.

    my man said the other person I’d be working with was a consultant for them for 4 years.

  • Not to be one of those but just know by quitting you’re aware that it could cost you more than your own sanity.

    I’d rather bite my tongue til I get better motion than to potentially end up homeless due to me not thinking properly , but that’s just me

    If you was in an abusive relationship with someone. Where they gaslight you, tell you what to do and say, and you end up becoming sick and depressed. Would you stay in that relationship until you found a new partner or breakup and recover from there?

    Like this mentality is what keeps people working forever. The fear of being unemployed.

    B I know damn well you aren’t comparing a job, something you NEED to be able to provide for yourself to a relationship which is completely optional because it’s not a necessity. If you’d rather be a bum than to take the steps to better yourself while you’re still bringing money in, that’s on you. But don’t make a thread a couple months from now complaining about your situation.

    I’ll succeed. I’m just doing what I do now independently. Just gotta market, find clients, etc. I started out independent contracting at first, I’m just gonna start an llc and go full time.

    It’s looking time consuming and expensive so I’m gonna try to get another job to supplement the startup costs.

    Maybe the supplementary job doesn't have to be in programming. You know, compartmentalise your work so you dont get burnt out in one thing

    Start a business helping small/medium business owners manage their customer relationships, generate leads, create an online presence, create online storefronts, create sales processes, track sales metrics, report on data, etc.
