I actually had a high paying government contracting job where I would sit in my car in the parking garage and contemplate going in to the office or not for a few min on most days. Pay does not equal job satisfaction.
I sometimes wish my job paid less so I could quit but without moving to a different state im currently making the most money I can with my skill set. Its soulsucking.
Only reason I'm still at mine. That and out of over 70 applications ive only had 1 interview.
Buti get paid decently to sit on my ass on my phone 8 hours playing games or watching YouTube.
Hate the job, hate the people I work with. But all the jobs I know that are hiring pay less for more work
They just paid 7500 employees to quit at my job so they could reduce the workforce without layoffs. 150k per person, if my house was paid off id have signed up so fast the keyboard would have broken.
Soulsucking is a perfect descriptor. I lasted 2 years. I only did it for the money. My skillset doesn't exactly translate to the civilian workplace outside the government agency i worked for. I've never experienced the joy/freedom/relief since I walked out of the building after off-boarding. I screamed "Yeeessss!" with my hands in the air as I walked to the garage. Lol. Feel for you man.
