My job has been slowly draining me and I am burned out. I dread going to work every day. I’ve been job searching for 1.5 months, but have had no luck. I am starting to lose hope and becoming desperate. I am depressed and come home in a foul mood every other day, and feel weighed down by my workload. I feel guilty for wanting to leave but just can’t do it anymore. I long for something calmer and more structured, but finding a job like that paying more than $11-$13 hourly has been impossible.

Hope you are having an amazing day ?

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”

It’s been extremely stressful and harmful to my ptsd anxiety and depression.
