I went to Sikkim, yeah it was very relaxing. But my issue is that we have to come again to that circle

That’s how life goes buddy!!    
 Just go with the flow and don’t expect things.

If you feel depressed about your job, get a home loan. I promise you will never hate your job again.

Hahaha yeah brother, that's why I never considered it

Does anyone feel depressed or bored with the work and want to quit and go to the farms anywhere far away from the crowds?

Feel depressed..?

I can't seem to relate to much of the non-FAANG junta out there. I mean I have a cushy job with probably 0.1% pay of all SWEs(pretty much like all of us do). But these cookie-cutter roles have been taking a mental toll on me. Like I am getting paid but I feel a little purpose-less. What am I gunning for in this life? 

All my life I wanted to go to a good college to get into a good company. In college I wanted to get a good codeforces rank so that I could get into FAANG. Now that I am in FAANG I have nothing to look forward to. 

Any of you all feeling this way? Because I don't see myself offer-shopping and feeling much happy about that either.

Recently watched Soul on hotstar and this actually makes sense now. The character was trying hard to perform in front of a crowd and  when it happened he wasn't feeling any change at all. At that time, he was told about the fish and the ocean story :-  
  
 I heard this story about a fish. 
  
 He swims up to an older fish and says, “I’m trying to find this thing they call ‘the ocean.'” 
  
 “The ocean? the older fish says, “That’s what you’re in right now.” 
  
 “This?” says the young fish. “This is water. What I want is the ocean!”

Fed up with wfh situation. Feeling depressed whole day, any suggestion on resolving this?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

If you ask me, the purpose of life has to be more than climbing a self-constructed ladder. 

Like, it has to be more than a 3BHK in a metro, with two kids, a car and a prestigious job at a faceless corporation, 2 weeks of vacation and a movie on the weekend.

Isn’t this weird that, we all continue to fool ourselves? 

When you know nothing matters the universe is yours, and I've never met a universe that was into it. The universe is an animal, it grazes on the ordinary. It creates infinite idiots just to eat them. 

You know? Smart people get a chance to climb on top and take reality for a ride but it'll never stop trying to throw you. And eventually it will, there's no other way off

[Thread] What is according to you makes life worth living?

Remember when you were a kid and had a school trip the next day?    
    
 You sleep all excited, over preparing your bag, snacks, your pocket money and sleep fantasizing the day forward.   
    
 You wake up on the morning. You are excited as hell. Although it's no different than any other day but everything feels colorful. You can't wait to hop into your school bus and meet your friends who are just as excited as you.   
    
 I think what makes life is worth living are these experiences. When you sleep, you have something to look forward to. Someone to do, something to achieve, something you truly enjoy or be passionate about.   
    
 If you are just going through days fixated on the coming weekend or planned holiday. That is when things get a little messy.   
    
 I'm in that zone right now. I try to seek the satisfaction and happiness inside of me. So I don't depend on materialistic or emotional to feel lively. It must come from within and its damn hard to cultivate.   
    
 When I'll have that I'll be off from this corporate for good. .

Sometimes I feel like quitting the job and be relaxed and happy. Am fade-up with office politics, too much work pressure and moreover from this Indian mentality at work. Want to get rid of all this nonsense but I can't leave without a job, because for me it is keeping me engaged rather than a boring life without a job, even money also matters in this expensive lifestyle.

I am feeling frustrated from work stress and politics, what to do?

If you had enough money in your life so that you don't have to work for money, would you still do the same job you are doing?

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

Everyday when i wake up there is a feeling of emptiness or a sad feeling just by the thought of going to work..earlier i used to think this will get better with time but no it doesn't..has anyone went through the same situation?? how to cope up with this??

Feeling dejected

Intern

Everyday i wake up with no motivation to work. Spend most of my day trying to gather any will i have to get something done and just wait for the evening standup. After which i have no energy to do anything since all was lost trying to ( not necessarily doing ) work. Can anyone relate? Or gone through it? How do you even fix it?

PS: don't suggest grass is greener on other side and how there are jobless people in the world...

Lost motivation to work

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey All, I am writing this to express how I am feeling since last 1 year now. This post will be a bit lengthy but I would be grateful if anyone could help me even a bit. 
I moved into a new company 1year back and due to bad work environment I left. I took a months break and joined a new company now. I have a total 5 years of work experience, my salary is extremely good. ( I don’t worry about this at all for now)

My problem is I don’t know what to do in my life. I guess I have quarter life crisis. 

Earlier I wanted to do music and act , I took professional classes and left because I felt bored idk why. I felt like I need someone to guide me and handhold me since I know no one in this industry. 
Talking about my job I have always moved into roles I loved every bit of work and I m very sincere and hardworking. 
I stopped working out , I stopped cycling, I stopped painting.
I stopped liking everything literally. Idk how to get back at things. I feel I am gonna die anyway why I need to do this , or that or etc etc. I even took counselling but it did not seem yo help me. 

Idk what to do. Please share your experiences too and what I need to do.

Mentally not well!

Hey Viners, how do we tackle Monotony in an Ops role where we have to do the same thing again and again and there is no real work and growth . I feel kinda numb by it and creativity takes a hit . How do we tackle the depression arising from a very boring and montonous work ? 

Please advise, 
Job market down so finding other job openings became very hard !! 

How do we escape from this Mind Numbing Ops work and transition to something better like Engineering, Analytics etc.

Monotony in job !!

Hello Grapeviners

So I guess I hit the mid-life career crisis and finally resigned from Microsoft abruptly yesterday. 

Reasons for resignation:
1. I am saturated with my work and feel out of fuel now.
2. No Pay Raise or Stocks since 2 years.
3. No Promo in last 2 years even after being a top performer and winning multiple awards and accolades.
4. Was promised by my manager that I will be promoted in Feb but now he/she quotes budget.

What my manager says:
1. You have a valid L1B, don't resign.
2. Says you will get the promo in September but now it is not possible.

Please Note: I resigned abruptly without any offers in hand. I guess managers think that folks who have L1B won't resign so their promo can be delayed.

Just wanted to share with the the community. Thanks 🙏

Resigned from Microsoft

Half of me wanna yell at you for being stupid, but other half tells me you know better about appreciation and promo thing within org. If you don’t regret it, it’s good then!

I have around decade of work in IT sector, have decent pay but can't seem to like my work anymore. Is it because
- of fully remote work? No outside interaction 
- I'm in the wrong career. No passion for domain
- this is natural? Happens to everyone 
- I need a break ? Burnout 

How do you guys keep your motivation level up?

What motivates to do your job with enthusiasm everyday?

The project I am in right now sucks. It ends a month from now but the managers are very annoying. There is this one guy who cannot shut up and keeps telling you what to do and I really cannot focus or work with him. I'm just angry most of the time.

I've told this to my company and for all the obvious reasons they're taking the clients side.

I do feel like the company I am working for isn't worth it anymore. They also said that they haven't got a new client in a couple of months, so that's another reason for them to keep sticking up their existing clients.

I don't feel like applying for jobs at the moment. I kinda need a break after this project is over but they're already adding me to another project.

Any ideas suggestions on how to deal with this. How do you deal with office stress? Need some motivation to shut the hell up and start looking for jobs.

Rant, just that.

I feel so lost now. Although I have finished my CA and even worked for 2 years, I can't seem to figure out what I want in terms of my career. I am always doubting if what I am doing is correct or did I make a mistake by choosing this field? Anyone else ever faced this problem? What did you do about it?
