Being at my job for 6 months now, I’ve been feeling conflicted lately. I’m unhappy and feel stuck in a toxic workplace, where it’s beginning to impact my physical/mental health, but I also feel guilty for feeling this way, and that I should be grateful for having a job in this market. Anyone else feel like this?

You’re not stuck there! Start planning your exit. Life is too short to be unhappy. And what’s nice is you can take your time looking and find something in the next 6 months - a year to find something solid where you’ll be happier

Not sure why people keep complaining about the job market. Unemployment is about as low as it can go; there are plenty of jobs available. If you’re not happy where you are, start looking for something new.

I'm in this same predicament. Started a new job 6 months ago and have been unhappy the entire time. Unsupportive leadership, difficult stakeholders, and mostly unhappy coworkers. It's been a wild ride. But I refuse to be stuck, working on my resume, LinkedIn, etc. and have been actively applying for a couple weeks. No interviews yet, but I'm preparing myself. It helps with the feelings of dread at work.

For diet reasons, I don't drink alcohol. But I drink sodas occasionally. Like at company happy hours, etc. From a health perspective, is this kind of hypocritical? I think they are both nutritionally near 0 value. I do enjoy the taste of soda more than alcohol. But I can't help but feel like if I'm willing to drink sodas, a beer or two a week shouldn't be much different. If anything, it's lower calorie per can lol.
