What’s the point of decent pay if I never use it?
I’m 2 months into my new corporate job, most people would call it good. Since the pay’s decent, the company’s well-known, the role’s stable. But inside, I’m falling apart. I don’t have a second of free time anymore. The little time I do have goes to catching up on chores or crashing hard. To make it worse, my schedule has rotating weekends once a month, I’m working 6 days straight. I just don’t have a life now.
Wake up, commute an hour and a half each way, pull an 8 or 9 hours shift if I’m lucky then drive back. By the time I get home, it’s already dinner time, then I gotta prep my stuff for the next day. By 9:30 pm, I’m so wiped I can’t do anything but pass out, just to repeat it all.
Am I the only one who feels like “stable” just means trading my life for a paycheck? How do you make time for you when work takes everything?
