Title: "So Over It: The Work Situation That Led to My Escape" Have you ever felt so over it at work that leaving seemed like the only option? Yeah, me too. Let's talk about the job situation that pushed me to the brink of insanity (and ultimately led me to quit). Picture this: a soul-sucking office with fluorescent lighting that made me look like a zombie. My boss, let's call her Karen, was a micromanager who thought she knew best about everything (spoiler alert: she didn't). Karen would change projects midstream and expect me to magically know what she wanted. Don't even get me started on the weekly status reports where I spent hours detailing everything I had done, only for Karen to not even read them. But it wasn't just Karen who made me feel over it. It was also the unpaid overtime that seemed to be a regular occurrence. And the fact that the company culture was more concerned about appearing busy than actually being productive. Oh, and let's not forget about the perks! Or lack thereof...no free snacks or beverages, no gym membership, not even a decent coffee maker. Come on, people! So, when I heard Taylor Swift's voice in my head telling me to go, I listened. I quit that job and never looked back. Lesson learned: life is too short to work somewhere that makes you feel like a soulless zombie. Cheers to finding a better work situation!
