The people are retarded

I hate the corporate culture

Most tasks are mindless

Nothing seems to matter

I am conscious that it is a giant waste of a life to be spending it this way, tapping out messages to retards in a corporate environment

Yet it is one of the only things I think about

I only care about corporate politics, always positioning myself against threats or figuring out how to position myself to get the next gold star I am looking for

I don’t even like it but just do it out of an addiction

I feel like this won’t end wel

Quitting corporate work entirely doesn’t feel like a real option

Essay | “I Hate Work, But I Can’t Quit It”

By Evan J. Garrish, J.D.

There is a moment every weekday morning—sometime between unlocking my phone and the first Slack ping—when I whisper to myself: I don’t want to do this anymore.

I’ve thought this for years.

The decks I prepare are pointless. The metrics I obsess over are gamified. My “gold star” is a mild nod from someone who hasn’t looked me in the eye since 2021. Yet I chase that nod like it’s salvation. I wake up at 3:12 a.m. to pre-read meeting prep for a call that lasts 11 minutes. I cross-reference two SharePoint drives because one of them might house the real version of a document called “Draft_Final_FINAL_USE_THIS(1).pptx.”

I know it’s hollow. But I am hooked.

I hate my job, and I crave it. It’s not the work—I couldn’t tell you what I even “do” anymore. It’s the theater of it. The maneuvering. The optics of seeming busy. It's knowing where to stand during the war of attrition we call QBR season.

Sometimes I think about quitting. But quitting means confronting the void. No Outlook calendar. No unread Teams chats to signal relevance. Just... silence.

That might be worse.

I never figured out how to shrewdly “position myself.” Most people who try to do that fail and suck and will just change jobs after 16 months like most millennials. Some succeed but it never looks like much effort. More like their “positioning” was from just showing up/luck/phenotype.

180 brother. Same.

180 feeling when some hot little slut in another department looks up to you as a corporate juggernaut. She sees the emails you're chained-on, the approvals that come to you, the policy implications that drip from your email signature. My penis filling with blood as she nervously tries to make small-talk with me at the coffee machine.
