The pace at my job is so damn slow, I only do about four hours of actual work in a 40-hour week. Most of my time is spent waiting for my boomer coworkers to do their jobs, I finish my work blazingly fast by comparison. I could ask for extra work to do, but nah. I keep getting good performance reviews and raises, and this is the most stress-free job I’ve ever had.
Back when I was in management my number one advice to the folks under my leadership was “care less”. Like sure even from a management position it isn’t hard to see that becoming emotionally invested in work is the easiest way for a missed sale to ruin someone’s week. But from the human perspective its like, why care so much? You barely make a fraction of a percent of the total value of your labor here, tip the scales, give them the bare minimum of labor and stop caring so much.
Got fucked over by 4 employers over 5 years to learn this lesson.
Your boss doesn’t give a fuck about you. They will drop you and steal your Annual Leave right out from under you, even if you think you are their friend.
Look out for yourself, and don’t be scared of changing jobs, I stuck with a place because they were ‘good to me’ but they ended up folding and leaving me in the dust.
Greedy employers took advantage of my work ethic so much they basically destroyed it. My mental health soared after I stopped giving fucks.

I am genuinely happy for you.
this is the secret
don’t quit, just stop giving a fuck
