Just Showing Up

Some days going to office just feels like I am just existing to show up.

Anybody feeling the same way?

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.

We have office parties dude but people here are not worth the effort to talk to :(

Same.
Work is not fun anymore, I have been spending a lot of time daily to figure out ways to make things interesting.

Could really feel you, I always feel I am lacking something and maybe taking some MBA could justify it idk, just a feeling,

Me too, even though there seems to be no clear benefit to doing an MBA, somehow it feels it can lead to me feeling better about work. There's no clear rationality to it which continuously makes me feel that I am only considering an MBA to escape my current situation rather than facing it.

Almost everyday. No clear focus or vision in the company.

I too get you mitre🥹, I feel so damn low just sitting in office that only thing that keeps me alive is the netflix show I watch after work.

No job/work is interesting everything. You just need to get through it to reach the interesting ones. Also, showing up matters as it differentiate between the people with perseverance and the people who give up easily.

That’s a very amazing way to look at things. But sometimes in life everything gets so monotonous, complicated & agitating. You won’t have that energy left to do that.

I do man. Quite often. Feels like I'm lacking a chase - should start preparing for CAT/GMAT etc to have a chase type thoughts start creeping in.

What stage Co are you in btw ? For reference, say a PM in a sub 200-400 person startup would be less likely to feel this sooner.

I totally feel the same way about start prep for CAT/GMAT.

I am a APM in a 400 - 500 person sales led startup 🥲

There can be multiple reasons for this. Either You don’t feel strongly about the problem your company is solving or company culture is rotten. Change should be done soon else you will be dead inside.

I am dead inside. But definitely I am looking out for more opportunities.

Maybe you need a crush in office. Try finding someone, if you're unmarried :)

Reading the comments feels like the workplace camaraderie is gone. I remember a time when we used to have some good time during lunch hours ... however it was usually a 1 hour break ❤️

I personally feel that it is much better if we work from home because I don’t fucking care about work at all.
