There’s hope for us
I am just another average Amazon slave. Put in 15 hours, put out multiple fires, and go to sleep depressed and drained - repeat. What I’ve started doing to break this chain is I pick random scenic hiking trails around pacific north west and just hike till my legs hurt. I’m spellbound and surprised to look at all this beauty. The amount of time we waste in our life spending on useless meetings and fighting fires at work blinds us from all the beauty world has to offer. All the cultures to be explored. All the food to be eaten. If you’re reading this and stuck in a similar situation - just remind yourself that there’s more to life and you’ll eventually get out of this. This too shall pass. The goal is to start seeking things and pursuing what makes you happy - whether it’s hiking, traveling, or something as simple as fishing in different lakes. Life’s all about choices we make. We just happened to make the wrong one by joining certain org or company, but it can be easily mended. TC 230K
There are companies which will pay much more than Amazon and have a decent WLB. Why wait ?
What companies? I’m in hardware development so there’s not much options
Have you heard of the fruit company? I heard they pay very well to HWE’s but wlb is unclear
"Just hike till my legs hurt" Bro don't hurt your legs while working for Amazon..
Lmao. Good one. I just read a post where someone from Amazon was put on PIP for taking sick days

Amazonians seen to have their midlife crisis at 29 lately it seems
SMH 😞
I have felt this way before. But I enjoy work and find myself coming back, wanting to work. That's why the key is balance -- Work Life Balance! I think working is not the problem, it's overworking
Let us know about your next hike. Blind meetup at the trailhead!
Totally feel ya. I am quiting next month. Feels much liberating.
More power to you. I’ll eventually save up enough money to create multiple source of income streams and just quit. I have been wasting the prime time of life over nothing
