After reading all these responses I'm burnt out! ROFL

I give you a hard time, but it’s all love at the end of the day man. Just now seeing this, but I understand what you’re going through. Just keep your head up and keep moving forward.

“This shall pass too”

I hate my life right now.

Passed over for a promotion for the 2nd time this year. Help me.

Not sure what you do but clearly need to try something to make you standout from others.

Or move on. If possible.

I've been there. Got passed over for promotion after promotion because I wasn't a 'bro' and did my work at work, so I got fed up and just quit.

It was a great decision.

Every step up in my career, I had to go to another company. Businesses, especially bigger businesses want workers who are productive to stay in their position. They are relucant to move you out of that position.


Your going to have to be prepared to move on. Get another job. If you want to stay, force their hand and tell them you want the promotion you've earned or your gone.

This X 1,000. After 36 years at the same corporation I'm fixing to change things in my life way up. Scary and exciting all at once. My father, who is the person that instilled my work ethic and loyalty, thinks I'm making a huge mistake and repeatedly tells me just to stick it out. Although i respect him and understand where he is coming from i just can't do it anymore. Sorry Pops, wish me luck.

I retired at 58 years old, I am now 65, it's kind of boring playing golf, bass fishing, driving my old c5 around and sleeping until I want to get up.

It's not all what it's cracked up to be.

out.

Thats a risk im willing to take

I have now thanks to this thread.

This
and this


most of the time the quickest way to get a salary and/or title increase is to change companies

Or threaten to change companies. ;)

I see this every day. I've passed up several gigs because I refuse to let "work" become "life".

There's a lot of people above me that make A LOT of money but they have no time to spend it, no one left to spend it with/on, and so on.

At some point one has to ask what they want out of life and what that means for work. I haven't experienced any burnout since I finally decided that work=work and nothing more.
