I think this would happen if you’re not planning your career. It’s important to do some planning and start working on the next phase. Take ownership of your career, I think taking ownership at work will come automatically. 
  
 I have am trying to follow this above and  In this process, I also realised what are my weaknesses and strengths. So currently working on improving my weaknesses.

Thought about this for a while, and it does make sense. Thanks man!

Being someone who gets bored easily, I don't have that urge, or lets say am reluctant to start work everyday (analytics - not a fresher). 
Keeping switching aside, what's something I could do to find ownership? If not for turning this to something extremely interesting, least I wouldn't want to go through this every morning. 

I understand there's many out there doing it just for the money. Apne koi turning points he tho share kardo yaar, kuch try kar lete hein. It's Monday tomorrow :(

Bored at Work- Grapevine

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Some days going to office just feels like I am just existing to show up. 

Anybody feeling the same way?

Just Showing Up

Yeah Same Bro, My Office lacks a culture of keeping folks motivated, it fails to give a reason for people to come to office. No office parties or informal catch-ups for over a year makes it worse.

Product Manager

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So I am working at a startup for around a year now. Everyday I see, it feels, what am I really doing? Where is the life headed? 
    Doing bare minimum or doing your tasks and fucking off isn't enough. It's expected that we outgrow constantly, as if it's this work that we can always think about and nothing else. At the end, am wondering if it's still worth it?
    1 day it feels that let's just quit it! Next day I feel, okay, I do want the money. 

I ain't looking for suggestions here, just wanted to see if anyone else felt this way

Getting increasingly bored of work at startup

Been there, but money is very important especially for a middle class family, for most of us we are earning 5x more than our parents at least and have huge expectations from families to provide them with good life

Consultant

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement.

Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.

I’ve been an Engineering Manager before. Ask me anything.

Software Architect

Although I'm early in career(~4 Yoe) but I feel distinterested in it.

As far as I remember I was always interested in computers and programming(even before I knew it pays well), it's probably the only hobby I ever had.

It felt good in beginning but lately it feels like I'm dragging myself to work. I thought maybe I'm just distinterested in working for the employer but I don't feel like coding for fun either.
Doesn't feel like burnout because I haven't felt too much pressure from work in a while.

I thought this would be transient but I can't remember when it was fun last time. Has anyone else felt like this? Does it get better or is this just my life going forward?

Do you ever feel disillusioned with work

Totally in the same boat. 
 Sometimes I think of leaving everything and starting afresh in a different career.  
 Or sometimes I think of starting something of my own and quitting the corporate world.

Is it only me or someone else is also bored of the monotonous work that we do just because we get a big fat amount at the end of the month.

Is it only me??

In this age of remote work and layoffs, is there any company which excites you for work?

Please share why it excites you too. 
Looking for reasons other than money.

Which company excites you for work?

UX/UI Designer

I have been in this dilemma for the past two years. Work is nothing interesting to write about. Literally frozen learning anything new. Was able to start with teaching through an opportunity and started liking it. But the inability to process thoughts in a streamlined execution plan is throwing me off. There are so many things to do, but so little attention span. 

I want to be grateful for what I have but also want to prove to myself that my ability is probably better than this, to toil this way. 

I thought moving to a better job with better money might be the solution but is it ?

Do people relate to this or is this just a me thing? Please share your thoughts. Any suggestions to get out of this loop is welcome.

Miserable but unable to make a move

Principal Engineer

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Recently, every friend or colleague of mine have been on rant mode and very dissatisfied with jobs despite being paid bomb money and crazy esops.

Is everyone in every organisation in all functions so unhappy or is this just GenZ problem of setting wrong expectations from the Job?

Does anyone exists who actually loves their job?

Software Developer

Im scared.
I dont wanna put myself into this trap of 9-5 job, cause its scary and once you get into this theres no going back. I wanna do something of my own, I dunno what. Please drop any suggestions or guidance😭.

I dont wanna put myself into this trap of 9-5 job, cause its scary.

Being anonymous gives me a safe space. But life is getting tougher than ever each day.  
I wish I had a better paying job. I wish I had time to have slow mornings. 
I wish I could provide for my family and give them the things they much deserve. 

I wish I had a chance to rewire rewind and restart. 

I wish I could do more than I wish to do. 

It's all wishes guys . It's all hopes. .
Nothing seems fulfilling. Nothing seems to make me happy. 

I have forgotten what carefree days were like. 

Adulting is kinda hitting hard. I am not able to cope up. 
Can someone relate?

It's hard to manage work and life

I am really bored in my job. How do you guys deals with the boredom of your daily dull routine and work?

Boreddddddddd

Feeling dejected

Bored with the work

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Curious to know what to do folks here do in their working hours when they are having a chill workload week/day in a WFH setup.

I just hopelessly wait for some ping or adhoc task to come up and end up wasting the whole time scrolling the phone.

What to do when bored during working hours

DevOps Engineer

Hi all, 
I am a software engineer in a * company. But here the point is about myself, i don't like to code at all, infect i hate it now, but still i am doing it , because i have no choice, i can't leave it nor my family will be  supportive about it. I know its the best work in today's time but not for me. I also got promoted and been on a good pay (acc to exp). But i just don't want to do this job at all. My brain is affecting to a large extent , i have been hiding it from my family. I have a lot of headaches and tension of work like how am i going to do this. Because of having no interest in this, i am not improving my knowledge in this field, which have created fear about switching jobs. I forgets concepts , but i am able to work , don't know how, but i am afraid how long will i survive. My life is ahead me, many responsibilities lying ahead, but also i dont want to do this. What should i do ? Please help me , i can see only one option and that the very last option.

Coding...

Have you ever felt that you are bored with the job....

Sometime it feels what's next - the goal was to get a good job and earn well but after 2-3 years it feels what's next... The excitement is not there tbh that we had the first day.

Anyone who has similar thoughts and how to find what's next...

What's Next?

Marketing Manager

I am 23M working in a well renowned Fintech startup. Have got what I have dreamed of in college like high ownership, good pay and other similar things. But lately realized that I can't do these things for my majority of life. Although I enjoy my work but still feeling lonely and aimless.

Previous to September it was remote but now they have made it hybrid and I have to reallocate to Gurgaon and now I am feeling more lonely and aimless in life.

Have tried travelling and other stuffs inorder to find interest in life but nothing excites me.
