My dream job is taking a 50% paycut to do literally anything else that requires 20% of the stress and gets me out of the house. Which could be damn near any other job. But I also like money so here I am

Not in IT. IT was a sleepy job where you used to babysit a mainframe or two that never broke. Shit hit the fan when PCs entered the fray.
Haha no shit but it never gets better no matter how many leave and cite too much work as the reason. Hr/management just plugs their ears and says “maybe another t-shirt day a month will fix this”

IT had the stupid grind culture well before it became a meme.
Ngl I dream about becoming a barista in a small coffee shop but I couldn’t survive on that salary. Maybe if I rent a 9 square meter apt lol
I think I saw a 9m² luxury 2pc bathroom apartment in Vancouver for rent. Follow your dreams.
