Is Anyone Else Just Sick Of This All?

Title explains it well enough.

Life just feels pointless. I don’t hate working, but I hate repetitive, constantly templated crap that I do these days. This was a career sold to me as interesting, variable.

I don’t even order variable foods when I get it delivered to the office. What’s the point of any of this?

I would rather work a new job every day for the rest of my life for 10% of the money than keep doing this

What you want is not to be alienated from your labour and to spend the day engaged in hearty manual labour and your evenings in gainful philosophical debate. May I introduce you to Karl Marx

How about work to give to worthy causes? (I have suggestions!) And/or make a game out of maximizing your savings, and start planning your next thing.

Take a sabbatical and come back fresh. some bosses do approve that :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: . the fact of the matter is you need money for a decent life , so you need to keep generating as income. of-course there are more meaningful way of income like farming or Entrepreneurship . you need to have a purpose apart from routine work thats it .

This seems self-indulgent to me. If you have a job, count yourself lucky. If you have a job that pays well, count yourself luckier still. There is a generation of people coming up behind you that is struggling to get anything at all

Thank you everyone for your replies and concern… Certainly sparked a conversation.

If anyone’s up to become a monk, I am Open to Opportunities™ in either Tibet or Greece, could be convinced on Egypt and/or Syria if needs must. New Worlders need not apply

You have to find that variety outside of work. Just disassociate until you clock out and hope that sooner or later a genuinely good job comes around.

This is no way to live. I understand the burden of man is to do regardless of desire to an extent, but spending two thirds or more of your life on autopilot is a worse than death

This is the fate of 99% of people - the sooner they accept it the better. There is no saving them, they have no souls, they are what we ought to call “hylics”, just human biomass, pointless, ground them into the dust like many have done before. Interchangeable

You are an important cog in the efficient allocation of capital - there is no more meaningful role…
