    Having a job you don’t hate is such an amazing thing, it’s well worth changing positions every few years if you hate the work, it looks good on a resume and is great for salary.

    That being said if you can find a position that is bearable or even enjoyable it’s absolutely not worth risking for salary imo (provided financially sustainability). On paper compared to many of my college peers I’m now pretty far behind in salary due to not pivoting to CS, but in terms of mental health it couldn’t be more different.

    You fucking baby clearly you’ve never felt the pain your boss feels when you take you’re legally mandated vacation time.

    Second to last day of vacation isn’t the worst. Second day after returning is the worst. First day back at work you still think you’re refreshed and life will be better now. End of the second day back you realize it’s the same shit as ever and vacation is just a momentary illusion otherwise.

    That’s why you’re supposed to go to someplace dirty and uncomfortable for vacation.

    Then your free time is over, but you get clean bathrooms and reliable electricity back!

    I feel opposite, but that’s because the boss just went on vacation, so I don’t have to deal with him for a week.

    Don’t worry, it could be worse! My last job fired me on my vacation because I refused to work while out of town!

    I know the feeling, I just had a week off and returned to work on Friday a couple of days ago.

      Some people have a huge list of things they want to do with their very limited freedom from the chains that bind us all. Thus can turn a vacation into a job in away. Running as fast as you can to “accomplish objectives”.

      Their life, their choice. It just seems so exhausting to hear people in my life go through these things. To put so much stress on themselves during their vacation.

      Considering how expensive and all the sunk costs of these adventures, if things go wrong it can foster negative feelings. These can be draining as well.

      I’d rather just drink alone in the basement.
