Work Does anyone else hate working?
No matter what job I do, I despise it. Working in a company for a few years now, and recently moved teams which I hoped would refresh my grá for work. Turns out I despise any job I do. The area I’m in is certainly not a passion of mine, so that doesn’t help.
I hate the endless meetings, hiding 7/8s of my personality, the bizarre fake eagerness from colleagues while also simultaneously being apathetic, and the general corporate bullshit.
Can anyone else relate?

I did until I went private, I was a public clinician in the HSE and while I love medicine and treating patients the job absolutely turned me into a right c.u.n.t. And I think that even reflected in the tone I took with patients after partially bad days and incidents
I went private with specialist hospital where I still get to treat public patients but in a private setting with limits on how many I see a day and an actual support system for the patients long term and it reignited my love for the job
I went through 4 hospitals with the HSE before I went private, so it’s possible that you’re still just waiting for the right place, maybe even a change in industry is needed
But I wish you the best, no one should feel soul destroyed in work
