Weekends now are more like countdown to Mondays

I got an offer from Ola Electric for a Senior Engineering role in Backend dev. Pay is good and team looks interesting too. But I am very apprehensive about their culture. Their glassdoor reviews are horrible and the recent interview in YS Bhavish gave was cringe max. I am a hard working guy, will do solid 8-10hrs 5 days a week. But it looks like that won’t be enough. One might be made to work late nights and weekends routinely from what I heard. And Bhavish saying he doesn’t believe in weekends has made me a lot more anxious. My current company is going through financial troubles. I will definitely have to move. I will get some other role though if I wait for a few weeks. Could someone working at Ola or with recent experience advise me here.

Its finally saturday

Is it just me or are any if you in a conversation with yourself at 6pm on a Sunday if you did justice to the weekend that went by? Last weekend I stretched myself physically and socially on Saturday so Sunday was a redemption. This weekend I barely moved myself and am on this spiral. Hard to reach a point where I’ll possibly be fully satisfied with the quality of weekend spent 🥹

I am a 29 YO single male. I earn decently well for my age. Lately I haven’t been feeling well. As in, life is just passing by and nothing brings me joy anymore - No PS5, No long drives, no movies or shows. Weekends are especially lonely. During weekdays, I make sure I go to my office everyday even though it’s hybrid, to avoid feeling lonely. I don’t have any female friends to talk about things deeply as most of those friends are now getting married. (you know how is it with us boys. It feels weird to share emotions or talk about life with the same sex somehow). Same for male friends. They are all getting married. Somehow, it just feels like I focused too much on my work and didn’t invest time in finding a mate at the right time. Now, on weekends, I just lay on my bed like a loser. I was never like this. I had so much drive to work, to explore, etc. But now it all seems pointless. Do you guys have any suggestions on what to do?

Me: Working from home took a week long wfh for Rakshabandhan, wau?

Looking back at our college days, I remember how close we were. We used to think our friendship would last forever not only friends but cousins too, but things have changed. No one keeps in touch anymore. The friends I used to fart with are now distant, and when we do talk, it's only after months. It's frustrating. We're doing well financially, but our relationships are suffering. Whether it's because of work pressure or being tied to the office, we can't visit our hometowns as often as we'd like. On weekends, I find myself drinking alone, scrolling through old photos and videos of friends and family with some songs playing, and crying. Life goes on...! Monday comes restart....! I just wanted to share the feelings so i did :)

Or is it just me so that I may get on with my mundane life and keep myself busy as I have nothing better to do 😪

Most of us are back to work after a long weekend. It's a very miserable situation I know. So for the benefit of everyone, what are the few things you do to make your week at work less miserable?

Not sure if anyone feels completely exhausted during the weekends. My energy levels are decent during the week but come weekends and my energy levels crash. Apart from talking to friends, I have little energy to do anything else like reading a book, working on a side-project, etc. Wanted to know if anyone else feels the same way. And if someone has been able to reverse this and have more energy on weekends.
