Is My Job Real or Just a Well-Paid Illusion? 🤔
I've spent most of my adult life in the world of white-collar corporate jobs. Before that, I was on my feet all day as a janitor, cashier, and nanny—jobs where the results were tangible. Now, I spend my days crafting emails, attending endless meetings, and trying to "communicate value" to clients. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if any of it actually matters, or if I'm just playing a part in a giant office charade.
Some of my coworkers are so deep into this "fake work" that I can't even tell what they do. Meanwhile, I get paid way more than I ever did when I was doing "real" work. It’s starting to get to me. Am I the only one who feels like their job is just busywork designed to look important? How do you deal with this feeling? Do you just take the paycheck and keep your head down, or is there a way to make it feel meaningful? I’d love to hear your thoughts—because honestly, I’m stumped. 😅
