Same here. Looking for a new job. I probably won’t rage quit but it wouldn’t take much for me to just walk out. Hopefully I’ll find something I like better soon.
Doubt this helps, but these feelings go through the ranks. In the same boat. The pandemic took what was already a challenging job and sucked all of the fun parts out of it, leaving only the grind, suck parts. Yet we still try to operate like normal. I've tried to add more personal time to my days, with varying degrees of success
My precarious employer based visa status. The fear has been doing wonders for my motivation.
Always feel bad for the visa workers. Pretty much stuck at a company for X years and I’ve heard horror stories of companies holding the green card processing over them or even delaying it. Brutal
Realizing that it is so hard to recruit for another job
Same. Compounding the problem, ive got no real skills
You are not alone! I think the WFH has made matters worse than they would typically be for us. Especially for new joiners like myself, who have never experienced non-WFH
I've been struggling with this as well. Almost left in December for a job with tons of red flags as a result.
One thing keeping me here is the sense that its not much better anywhere else right now (or at least anywhere I am qualified to work). My friends across different industries by and large seem unhappy, overworked, unmotivated, etc. Definitely think our hours have been worse overall, but not sure where I can go to escape this larger unhappiness :(
Open to ideas // please prove me wrong!!!
Exactly this. When I think of taking another job, I think about how much more work it is at the start- to learn the ropes, prove yourself, all of that. I don’t have the energy to do that now... but I can keep running on quasi-autopilot here
Same here! Was just thinking about posting about this and you took the words right out of my mouth! Can anyone share anything that’s helped them stay motivated/get motivated again? I’m struggling with completing day to day tasks and it takes me forever to get basic things done because I’m so unmotivated. Halp 🥺

A2 ... Backing up our team that is dealing with a pushy client and starting to manage things better and listening to us. Every day I feel a little bad that it's come to this and that I might be seen as a root cause but we're entering year 2 of this WFH arrangement and I personally can't do it much longer with the pre-pandemic expectations.
I feel you, especially the intellectual boredom. Long hours prevent me from doing anything else during the day/night but it’s not satisfying at all. Plus nothing out of the ordinary/ surprising ever happens at home. Nothing to discuss or ponder about.
Haven’t found a solution other that calling up my friends during the weekend and engaging them in discussions over the phone. However, not everyone is open for that :/ fell free to DM
Thank you for being vulnerable. Needed to hear this to give me the context that it is not just me. I am there too. Arguably on the coolest project of my dreams, but I am so burnt out that I feel numb.
It is also February. We are coming up on a year of the pandemic....it all sucks
In the same boat. Happy to chat! DM me if interested!
I’m in the exact same situation! You’re not alone!
Samesies.
I felt this exact way and took a new job in industry. Huge breath of fresh air.
It also helped me to come to realization that a job is not my life but rather just a stepping stone til the next job and a way to pay the bills to enjoy the rest of my life. I am trying to focus more on my relationships and finding things / activities that make me happy
Same
Me too. I started applying for other jobs. That’s how unmotivated I am.
Intellectually bored at mckinsey!?

Yeah.....I miss the challenge of being an engineer. And creating something that had never been done before.
Discussed this issue openly with the partners on my project who seemed to take it very serious - however nothing really improved since then. Many of my colleagues are about to leave without having a new job
Thanks for the nice words - I guess you’re right! We also got new resources but work has also tripled since then as well haha
The $$$$$$$$
Same here !
THIS is me right now.
