      My dream job is taking a 50% paycut to do literally anything else that requires 20% of the stress and gets me out of the house. Which could be damn near any other job. But I also like money so here I am

        I’m in the same boat. I know I’ll survive with 50% of my current pay if i have a less stressful job but then all IT jobs are stressful, some just pay way worse for the same type of work. Finding a job which won’t turn stressful after a while is really hard.

    Haha no shit but it never gets better no matter how many leave and cite too much work as the reason. Hr/management just plugs their ears and says “maybe another t-shirt day a month will fix this”

    Ngl I dream about becoming a barista in a small coffee shop but I couldn’t survive on that salary. Maybe if I rent a 9 square meter apt lol
