9-5? More like 8-5 at a minimum wherever I've been at.
Fuck I'm so glad my country has good unions
9-5 is a dream.
Doing the bare minimum of responsibilities/hygiene my weekdays are 7am-630pm so once I'm settled I get maybe 2-3 hours to eat and do something fun. Assuming there isn't anything I need to do around the house.
Also those leisure hours are "fun" while I mentally prepare for the next day's beatings.
Saturday is a burner day to recover, Sunday is all chores and errands to get ready for the next 5 days.
It sure is grim when I type all that out.
I'm in the same boat too. Honestly I don't think this will get better. The grind never stops. I am thinking to consider moving to jobs which are at least interesting to me since I'm going to spend 70%(might be more if math done properly) of my rest of my life working, might as well it be interesting or fun to me. Idk if I can pull it off.
I feel you. I never thought I'd get out of retail management and landed a sweet operations job that pays well. The downside is it's a small company so I do everything. I'm good at it and it's stimulating, but I'm accountable for so many things and people that it's been really wearing me down for the last few years, I'm at 11/10 effort almost every day.
I could find something else but it probably won't pay as well, and likely wouldn't be any better for my health. Doesn't hurt to look though, right?
I just want to contribute and do good work and enjoy my life.
Don't forget getting ready for work and commuting.
