Before the pandemic, I was 25, my confidence in myself was up and coming, I just felt so hopeful and happy go lucky. And then the pandemic hit. It felt like I was being held back against my will, feels like I reluctantly gave up 2 years of my life and for what?

6.5 years later, I’m 32, easily irritated and impatient with people who are stupid, lonely, still frustrated because I’ve been through a few jobs that I haven’t been happy with, the economy sucks, and I just want everything to be all figured out.

Title says it all. Whenever I try to go above and beyond at work, I’m overlooked and the opportunity for me to advance is given to someone hired off the street or with an intern who became the boss’s favorite.

I’ve never been one to do this, but I think I’m just going to resort to doing the bare minimum aka enough to not get fired or quiet quitting, because what’s the point?

They want to play that game, fine I’ll play too. I’ll do the bare minimum while searching for something better out there.
