On This Episode:

You ever walk into your job and just think, “Oh man, is this really it?” From the moment you plop down at your desk, you can already feel how the day’s is going to play out. It's those endless meetings that could have totally just been an email, and those long email chains that somehow turn into giant projects. Then there's that one coworker who seems to think they're the center of the universe and that everyone should revolve around their schedule. And by the time the clock strikes 5 in the late afternoon, you’re so mentally drained that you can’t even remember if you ate lunch or got anything done that actually mattered. But it’s not just about the actual work. It’s that sinking feeling when you realize, “Yup, this is it.” You’re gonna be ticking off the tasks one by one, answering emails like a robot, but deep down, you start to feel like none of this is leading anywhere at all. You might find yourself asking, “Is this really what my time is for? Just going through the motions?” While you look at that one other person in the office who seems to have it all sorted out and you’re stuck trying to force enthusiasm for “team-building” and whatever buzzword is popular this week. But we keep on pushing through, right? Because that’s what we’re supposed to do. You gotta wake up and drag yourself to your desk, you gotta clock in the hours so that you can collect your paycheck, and then do it all over again. But then after a while, you start to wonder if living for the weekend is all there is to it. I mean, does anyone ever really love their job, or are we all just here because that’s what society expects of us?
