Second the point on financial security. I'm successful, I have a good job at a good company, earning a good wage. I'm in charge of lots of systems and people. But I'm not financially secure, because land prices have detached from wages. You can't work your way out of this hole. That is not your fault.
Why are there so many jobs in industries we hate (gambling, finance, advertising). Because the west is a financialized mess.
We are all trapped. Vote for substantive change.
- disturbed 7y agoThanks for taking time... I live in south-eastern Europe. Gambling/betting here is rampant. I feel like I’m contributing to the problem, but can’t seem to find the way out.
- geowwy 7y agoYou hate your job, but you feel forced to do it. And you've been like that for 13 years! Even slaves in the Bible were released after 7 years. No wonder you're miserable. No one can do something they hate for that long without having their soul crushed. Sorry to the people here, but I don't think meditation/diet/exercise will fix this problem.
- disturbed 7y agoI don’t know what to say. You are absolutely right. What makes me even more anxious is the life my kids are going to have. How do I teach them to avoid the slavery when even I’m not able to break free.
- narag 7y agoYour kids will be grateful that you sacrificed yourself in a job you didn't like to give them a chance. Others have already told you: your situation is bad, but a part of this bad is that you see it worse. It's difficult to tell the realism bits from the defeatism ones. If in doubt, try to err on the side of optimism.
