Theres no point to anything is there?

Post Reply New Topic

I went back to college as a mature student and got into debt through loans I borrowed to feed and shelter myself whilst being a student. I thought it would be worth it. At least I would get a job I enjoyed at the tother end.

Now I'm in debt and I still have a job I hate.
Different job, but I always end up working with managers who are complete morons. The kind who talk and talk and talk and promise clients the world without understanding what work is involved. The kind of people who couldn organize their way out of a paper bag. The kind of people who don't set the ground work and who make everything wobble on top of their shoddy work.

I wish I hadn't bothered trying.

I hate my job. I hate manager. I hate clients that won't co-operate. I hate everything!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !

And I still have about another 40 odd years until I get to die. Ugh.

And that is the end of my rant.

is this business something you could do on your own without a boss? it's empowering to hang out your shingle.

I have always had a tough time with my managers, too. Always try to find work you love but you can't don't expect one manager to be much different than the next. Always make the most of what you're working with. That said, maybe I have paid my dues because I finally have the manager of my dreams.....and in fact, today she gave me a great Year End review so I wish you the best of luck in your career journey.

break records. take the managers job. make all the clients mad. quit. watch buisness go down the tubes. blame everyone else. get your job back. do what you want. WARNING! this advice has never worked for me. still have not figured out the part where I'm supposed to get my job back, and do what I want.

Excellent! You've finally worked it out. Welcome to the existentialist club. This is your first step on the road to unlightenment.

I'm questioning whether there's a point to life myself. I do try to realise that ultimately this material world will end, and that all my worries over it will seem meaningless. Easier said then done, of course. I guess all we can do is try to get the best out of life, and hope it satisfies our need for happiness. Life can be very frustrating and disappointing though, but keep trying.

The only point I have been able to find is the one(s) I choose to define for myself. Sometimes the point for me is rather New Age; sometimes it is more in line with traditional religions. And sometimes I lose sight of any point at all. At those times I just keep putting one front in front of the other until things clear up in my head.

I have also found antidepressants to be a good thing

I know what you mean

Dear hurtloam,
you are not an employee,
you are not a job description
you are not a victim!

You are a work n progress
You are a learning experience

I choose to see your Hate as frustration

Both hate and frustration are unexpended energies that can lead to annihilation


The kind of people who don't set the ground work and who make everything wobble on top of their shoddy work.
is this guy a corporate psychopath?

hurtloam - You acknowledged how you are feeling. That is a first step.

Yet life is not about the dubious safety of remaining stagnant in an unhealthy situation.

There is a point to life. You went through everything you went through for a reason. I have a lot of faith that you can climb out of the depression you are in. But very few people can do that alone.

For me, climbing out of my existential depression involved taking risks. I went to support groups. I reached out to people. At first, others were put off by my speech impediment, but after a few meetings, some of them wanted to hang with me. I then started to take better care of myself. I started trimming my beard. I started doing my dishes. I keep a clean apartment these days. I work out at the Y at least four times a week. I go to my job every day I am supposed to be there, unless I am racked over with illness (that happens very rarely). Self-care is the most important thing I can think of that keeps me out of depression. I only live once, and I am every bit as human as everybody else around me. Why not show myself the same degree of grace and care that I would wish upon them?

I am not sure how much of this helps. I do know how it feels to think that there is no point to life. I am just trying to share how I found my way out of that line of thinking.

Welcome to reality, life is not like on TV where everyone goes strait to college and finishes college right after highschool let alone has parents pay for everything nope not at all for the most part you end up with a sh***y job and go to college off and on whevever you can afford it on top of paying for rent and dealing with as*holes every day. Thats life. Id recommend finding a new job with less stress get hired somewhere else before quitting mind you.

no its snot

all of these experiences add value to you
your next employer won't hire you without them!

What ever your troubles are or were, remember at the end of all this you die. There is nothing to win and there is nothing to lose. We all know how the story ends for everyone. We die....... God that is depressing
