| Sorry, this isn't helpful at all, and I feel the need to address it. > I have zero interest in anyone who changes jobs regularly. I've been on this job for several years. I don't change jobs frequently. > Grow up, focus on your life Considering I was married and raised a kid, I think that covers the growing up part.
The therapy part covers focusing on my life. > The first thing you should do is work extra hours to make up for the slacking That'll just be extra hours of not doing anything productive. I've tried it multiple times over the past months. > A proper diet and exercise is extremely important. Check and check. Already taken care of. Not making a difference. Sleep is also fine. > After that, get a wholesome hobby you can pour yourself into. That used to be my sport. I've picked up a few things that interest me and they're fine. They don't make a difference wrt job situation. The main issue right now is that my life is falling apart around me (there's even more to what I wrote in my post but I don't feel like sharing everything) and I have a job that demands that I care too much about things. It's very hard to care about a handful of online services that bear no impact on my life, when almost everything else is falling to pieces. I need a less demanding job for my present situation. One that doesn't require emotional involvement in what I do. Something task-oriented: do it, call it a day, do the next thing, call it a day... collect paycheck. Repeat. I'm just not in a position to decide what's the best tech out of five options to build our next service AND mentor two junior devs AND review code from seven different people making sure it's all coherent with the existing code base. Too much going on in life to care that much about things at work. |
