sex is great but have you ever quit a job that was ruining your mental health?

[mattly@hachyderm.io]

@lucydev yes, it was good but mostly ruined by the fact that I had let it ruin my mental health for months previously

[nyanbinary@infosec.exchange]

@lucydev is it ace to stay in such a job for too long?

[lucydev@wetdry.world]

@nyanbinary i suppose a lot of things are nicer than sex if you're ace.

what is too long, anyways? I have total empathy with anyone unable to quit such a job because they can't just go elsewhere or quit without a plan b

[lucydev@wetdry.world]

@rail i get that from the ms teams call sound.

and jabber. Fuck jabber

[redsad@ohai.social]

@lucydev yup, a couple of times.

[byte@awawa.club]

@lucydev so, any job?

[lucydev@wetdry.world]

@byte my first full-time position wasn't that bad, luckily. i hope my next one is alright too

[draken@masto.nyc]

@lucydev
Several times.

[thejen@beige.party]

@lucydev Many times. It's glorious.

[debonairetoast@musicians.today]

@lucydev ever went to a meeting to get fired by such a terrible job, knowing they wanted you to be angry, to throw a fit, to cry, to yell... and you simply said "thank you" and gave them a speech about being free to pursue your own betterment and follow your heart to a more fulfilling career, and watched the life melt from their face?

chef's kiss moment, tbh.

denying a tyrant your energy when that's all they want more than anything is top tier.

[evin@gts.yujiri.xyz]

@lucydev no but i probly will soon

[stybba3019@mstdn.social]

@lucydev More than once.

[xenophora@mastodon.art]

@lucydev

Yes, and tragically it was the best-paying job of my entire life, but on the plus side: therapy exists and I'm not dead or in rehab. So...

[allinrep@social.spejset.org]

@lucydev As a matter of fact, I did. Twice.

[jonas_bostrom@mastodonsweden.se]

@lucydev I have once, it was an amazing feeling!

[elijquilting@beige.party]

@lucydev I hope this will come to pass one day 🥹

[maker_tom@famichiki.jp]

@lucydev
So many times. Maybe too many. But after 32 jobs I can say any regret was very brief and I am a better person for it.

[umamiaf@famichiki.jp]

@lucydev Already once. Hopefully wrapping the second time soon.

[originallucy@mastodon.online]

@lucydev yes!

[miclgael@hachyderm.io]

@lucydev

Hey thats my top reason for leaving any role!

Thanks for reminding me.

Absolutely scrumptious.
