Every morning, I drag myself into my cubicle, surrounded by colleagues who seem perfectly content with back-to-back meetings and endless corporate jargon. Meanwhile, all I can think about is how many years I have left until I can finally break free. Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they're living in a bizarre simulation where everyone else is happy to climb a ladder you want nothing to do with? Now, with a growing family and the pressure to keep our finances steady, I can't afford to take risks or experiment with new career paths. The frustration is eating at me, and I worry it's starting to show—not just at work, but at home too. How do you keep your sanity when you feel so out of place? I need real advice: How do you stay positive and keep your cool when your heart just isn't in it? Any tricks for making peace with a job you can't stand (yet)? Help a fellow freedom-seeker out! 😅 #WorkplaceStruggles #CareerAnxiety #FIREJourney #JobCareer
