Thanks but ill pass 
Great that you enjoy it, but I dont think that is my measure for "bliss in life"

Absolutely and hence I qualified by saying 'if that excites you' 
It does not need to, and that is perfectly normal (and it is more normal than what I am doing) 

I find happiness from work, which is a weird way in which my upbringing and life experiences have constructed me

Same Buddy was fixing a customer issue on 1 AM Monday on my app, and eventually fixed it and the sleep I got was insane.

Ask your employees, it must be toxic for them. And before you even get me started, it's only safe for me to assume that being an indian founder, you are toxic and probably scamming.

Had the Monday blues once upon a time, I have been there.
Working on my own thing, it's just exciting. I know we've all been there. A few energy drinks down, working on something that excites us. 

No toxicity, just love for the work. I hope so many of us find it in this community (if that excites us) 💪🏻

You'll know you've found bliss in life, when you're excited to work on a problem at Sunday night/Monday morning at 1 am.

Would love to know if there are people out there who don’t get Monday morning blues?

What excites you about the work week, has it always been this way or did you find what you love to work on somewhere along the way?

People who don’t get Monday morning blues, what do you do?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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.

Lately i have been struggling to cope up with my work and family . It’s been very difficult at my work lately. Also my personal life is a roller coaster mentally! I feel difficult to cope up. People at my work are sarcastic about my performance even though i am fulfilling all my basic tasks. I sleep very late thinking about all these things especially my personal struggles! How are you guys coping up?

How you guys are taking care of your Mental Health?

Could be anything. Your work, your workouts, friday night with the boys etc. 
If you've not taken notice of what you like doing, this might be a good way to, and also to hear from positive things that people are doing. 

For me, it's usually the weekly outing with work friends/other friends or just watching an amazing piece of content on the weekends. That's usually the peak. Excited to hear from all of you!

What do you look forward to every week? What makes you feel alive and happy?

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

Consultant

Ask any tech bro to work on Saturday and they will start crying about work life balance. FYI most professionals in India work on Saturdays. In India more than 90% folks are self employed. 

Lawyers, accountants, doctors, plumbers, carpenters, business owners all of them work on Saturdays. Your work life balance comes because you enjoy their services on Saturday and Sunday going around spending money and having fun. 

So not working on Saturday is a privilege and not a compulsion. 

On one side we are sad that companies lay us off and on the other side we want work life balance even at the cost of the growth. We despise anyone who creates wealth. 

Chal kya raha hai? Sabko startups mein bhi MNREGA scheme chahiye kya? Have some growth mindset folks. 

With so much work life balance you are just stuck in Manali traffic jam and Krishnagiri toll booth. 

Happy Traffic Christmas 🎁

Only tech Bros keep crying about work life balance!

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.

I worked at an early stage startup with really toxic culture and left my job because of that, now it's been one month I just wake up eat and sleep and feel like doing nothing, Although I know at some point I have to resume back but when ever I sit back to document my work prepare my portfolio I just feel no motivation to do so, Is something wrong with me?? Has anyone faced something like this before? How did you come out of it?

Feel like doing nothing

Product Designer

This was the job I so badly wanted. It's WFH. The actual work hasn't begun. Training phase is going on. It's not even training. They've sent me some material to read and learn. That's it. I don't know any of my colleagues well. I just hear their voices on teams meet. I feel like quitting already.

Is it normal to feel like quitting your new job within a month?

Medical Expert

I will go first - It's hectic as hell,  but if you are passionate about the problem that specific startup is solving-  

it is really rewarding and exciting. But that's just my opinion not everyone,  not everyone feels the same way about crazy work schedules and WLB which early stage startups tend to have.

Please share your thoughts and experiences!

What do you all think of early stage startups?

Growth Manager

They have no life
They have nowhere to go
They have no one to be with
They have no passions outside work either

And they make your life hell as they become the baseline for comparison for all sorts of management from appraisal to work distribution.

Feel free to disagree with me, but I’m genuinely pissed today. How do you deal with them? I have a decent life outside work but lose most of it while trying to catchup to such people so that I don’t get fired.

Sorry for the title.

How the F do I deal with overworkers?

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

Joined a product based Company two months back. Company culture is great. decent pay. good policies like insurance, cab, leaves etc.
But in the department I'm working at, the work is very Toxic.
It's minimum 9 hours everyday (continuous stretch). and what's surprising is stress and hectic work is normalised here. No one talks about. no signs of change as well.

Company is Great, My Work is Toxic

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.

You'll know you've found bliss in life, when you're excited to work on a problem at Sunday night/Monday morning at 1 am.
