how to mitigate getting pissed off at work? i’m overwhelmed, burnt out and over it. i’m putting in minimal effort and still making deadlines, but the firm still expects me to work magic by having untrained staff do work they don’t know how to do, basically overnight. it’s literally not possible. idc because i’m leaving anyway, but the injustice of it all pisses me off to my core and i’m trying not to explode

Just trying to understand. Are you saying that you used to put in more effort but you found it yielded little reward and you're angry about that? Corporate world can suck, I get that. But if you have a job offer in hand and are leaving, I'd say just focus on the new job. You're leaving this other place away. EY1 is either reading this differently than I am or is drinking the corporate kool-aid a little too much. I interpret this as you saying that you used to work harder but gave up after your bosses still treated you like crap anyway..yeah I've been there. But hard to sympathize if you're consistently slacking off at this point - I agree with EY1 there. But since youre leaving, forget about it and move on - hopefully the next place treats you better.

yes you’re reading it correctly! i’m only angry because i’m burnt out and tired. i haven’t really haven’t had a chance to decompress and disconnect all year because the firm is trying to grow without the proper resources. there’s been a 40% attrition in tax in my office specially in the last 2 years, with no hires.

also, note that i’m not slacking off. statutory deadlines are still being met. clients are still being served. i’m just not overextending myself because why should i be killing myself year round? if everything’s a fire, then nothings a fire.

It’s never too late to follow your dreams. I think that’s why I’m angry, we have no time for life anymore. People used to care for each other. Things have shifted with overseas work and thinking we all need to work like our jobs will be taken from under us. I hope the HIRE act passes. I hope integrity leadership come back to the profession. I just hope humans remain humans and begin to hold values again

I’v been in digital marketing for almost 5 years. I want to switch to marketing operations or research, because I find I’m better at and more interested in market research, audience research than keyword research or writing ad copies. I applied for some marketing research and operations roles, but no luck.

I understand I don’t have enough direct experience and platform experience, like Nielsen.

Any advice?
