The worst part is, there is no clear path. *Maybe* I'll be able to roll off in 2 months. The work that I do is so easy anyone below a manager can do it

Been there. Felt that. It’s the worst feeling I’ve ever had a work, some kind of inverse of burn out. Mine was also 75% remote and it took almost a year for my productivity to return to where it was. Good luck my friend. Two months is close, see if you can help with an RFP or two and start networking so when that two months is up, you can gtfo

Yup same here. I’m building hate for my manager/MD/client as the days go on. I feel claustrophobic

How can you find an opportunity to learn and build skills in another area while maintaining your execution during the remainder of this project? Can you request and hit up training or anything else to get off project site to buy some time away?

Same here, can’t roll off until June, can’t quit due to visa. Kill me now

I think we’re all in a similar boat. Stay strong brothers/sisters. I like to think the world will reward us some day for the shit we’re dealing with

I’ll add, even though I hated everything in life during that project, I ended up finding some areas where we could sell more work and leveraged that into better work and a promo, so hope is not lost!
