Some days I feel like working at an agency is designed to keep you so busy that you don't have time to actually apply for other jobs even though you desperately want to.

Lol it really does seem that way. I've wanted out for months and only managed to apply to like 20 jobs (predictably resulted in 0 offers). I know I need to make it a priority, but damn is it hard. The last thing I want to do when I get home is open up my laptop and start scrolling LinkedIn.

The problem I have is even when I get home... by the time I make dinner, and log back on to finish up work for the day it is time for bed. :/

I have to rely on weekends and even then time is regularly spoken for. I'm exhausted. I need to take a day or two off just to find time to actually apply to stuff.

Oh don't you worry, I make time to keep applying. I have to find something else soon. The work environment is so toxic at my company.

Things have gotten so bad at mine too. I've reached the point where I don't even care if my current work product suffers because I'm using time to apply to stuff. I just need out.
