I’m at the point where I wish the company would just lay me off so that I can get a few months of severance. One option is to underperform until they do this, but my pride/ego isn’t letting me

It does get brutal from time to time but just remember that at least since we are consulting side we get to walk away from the bs every few months as we cycle to new engagements, but if you were industry side, you’d have to own that bs foreeeeevvvvver. But putting high level shit aside and getting tactical, I think the IG founder had some philosophy that if you are struggling to be productive just tell yourself that you will spend 5 concentrated minutes doing a task and after that you get to chill for 5 min or whatever, but mentally when you start your 5 min assignment you’ll always want to leave it in a good finishing place and end up working way more than 5 min. Heard that secondhand, so don’t over fact check that philosophy, but it works for me.

To be honest there is no better time in the year to feel like this. Just hang on for a few days for the vacation. Hopefully you will be recharged afterwards.
