InfiniteInk+FollowTrapped in a Job That Drains Me—Is There a Way Out? 😩Every morning, I wake up dreading another day at my job. I’m constantly overworked, clocking in at least 50 hours a week—sometimes it’s even 70! The worst part? I’m salaried, so all those extra hours mean nothing for my paycheck. I work every other weekend and even on holidays, but my bank account still looks sad. The job market feels impossible—every decent job wants years of experience I just don’t have. How do people break out of this cycle? I’m exhausted, frustrated, and honestly, a little desperate for advice. Has anyone found a way to escape a job like this without starting from scratch? I’d love to hear your stories or tips. 😔 #CareerStruggles #Overworked #JobAdvice #JobCareer73Share
TurboTornado+FollowChasing Six Figures, Losing Myself?Ever since I broke the $100k mark as a financial analyst in New York, people assume I’m living the dream. But here’s the kicker: I’m clocking 60-70 hours a week, and my social life is basically my inbox. I thought the money would make it all worth it, but now I’m not so sure. My weekends are spent catching up on sleep, not with friends. Is this just the price of success, or am I missing something? Honestly, I’m exhausted and starting to wonder if the hustle is really worth it. Has anyone else been through this grind? How do you find balance when your job owns your calendar? 😓 #WorkLifeBalance #CareerGrowth #Overworked #JobCareer01Share
christopherblair+FollowWhy are we still working so much?It's 2025 yet we're still stuck in the grind of 40-50 hour work weeks. Why are we living to work instead of working to live? It's absurd that benefits only kick in at 40 hours, and wages barely hit $15 an hour. We spend more time with coworkers than family. Anyone else fed up with this? #WorkLifeBalance #Overworked83Share
