    For the first time ever I’m in golden handcuffs and multiple times a day I think to myself “I should quit”.

    but so far the long term reward promise has beaten the immediate gratification seeking part of my brain.

    tbf, I’m not complaining, it is a good problem to have

      being employed is pretty much as miserable as being unemployed but at least now i have health insurance and got a fucking diagnosis and might get some goddamn treatment in the foreseeable future so. yay? :|

      Goddamn, same tbh. I was thinking about quitting for the last 20 minutes and then realised due to stock run up I have golden handcuffs too.

      So miserable but the money so good …

        If I mange to get fired for doomscrolling instead of working, I’d be free. But I really should get back to work now … 😞
