Head on over to r/recruitinghell and read the horror stories of people looking for work. I start to feel really blessed that I’m even employed after that.
Not my monkey, not my circus.
I’m on anxiety medication! It helps for work anxiety too lol.
“Easy money” or “I’ve worked way harder for a whole lot less.”
I get paid the same no matter what stupid task I’m doing
i’m usually just hoping for my 15 and getting off so i can smoke
“I’m just here to take their money and go home.”
“We’re all gonna die anyway”
Wellbutrin
I signed up for this. Work is work, I can complain and do it anyway, or just do it and get it over with.
I don’t get paid enough to care that much
“I’m here to do my job and to get paid, not to care.” Or, “Will this affect me in the future, or is this just stupid?” lol
I work with patients/ humans for most of the day. And I was getting really frustrated with them. And I was actually talking negatively . I realized how much that was affecting my mindset. So I tried to revamp what I was thinking about my clients. And I now call them my free range chickens. Because what do chickens do? Whatever the fuck they want. so one chicken can be pecking on the fence, the other chicken can be in the pond, the other chicken can be eating worms on the ground. Some chickens are just gonna keep hitting their heads on wall and I accept that. But they are my chickens and they’re all unique. It’s all in the way that you talk to yourself about it.

Sheesh let me know when you find out
Work has to serve a purpose greater than survival or else it will just feel like a slog. That doesn’t mean work has to be your passion – it could mean that it’s funding a passion. So basically – I find it easier to keep the frustration at bay when I am doing things that make me happy outside of work.
Also…keeping my expectations on the low end lol
I’m only one person. I don’t let them make me feel bad when I don’t meet unrealistic expectations
I prefer the GenX mindset of “whatever”. It’s just a fucking job, who gives a shit?
I don’t look good in an orange jumpsuit
” Friday is coming ”
” going for lunch yay ”
” time to go home yay”
Ya know, I had a peaceful mindset at work until I got lazy new coworkers who cost me hours of time in repeating their “work.” I know this isn’t helpful, but damn that question resonated with me! 😂
“We’re not saving lives”

I’m only here for the paycheck
Prioritise. Something that doesn’t immediately affect you, let it go.
Gratitude practice can fix this….actually, gratitude practice can fix almost anything. (For me at least)
Between “am I actually annoyed or am I about to have my period” and “there are bigger things to be angry/worried about”
As with everything in life “It is what it is.”
Edit: Didn’t check the sub before posting I am not in fact a woman but I feel my advice still stands
