I hate my job, is this normal?

I’ve been at FB about a year, it’s my first job out of college, and I really hate work. I dread it so much. It’s not that I’m bad at it, I got a good performance review and seem to be well respected for my work.

Too many meetings, I have no time to focus or grow, they talk so much about training but I have received 0 formal training in anything since I’ve been here. All we do is start projects that go nowhere

We also have 0 personal connection. I have tried to have water cooler talk and these people are Damn robots sometimes.

Is this normal ? Is this just FB? Should I quit and find something that brings more joy. My coworkers are nice enough, it’s just the work itself

Comment! It's anonymous!

You have been part of an experiment. No, not by your own data science group or Cambridge Analytica but by an unhappy Cisco employee

That's a funny comment about how Facebook destroyed real, in person, meaningful relationships yet amplified the 'look at how great my lunch looks' crowd. Karma!

People e-talking to each other is the main reason water cooler conversations have become ancient. You want personal connections? while working at the company that pioneered the slow death of people enjoying talking to each other?

The fact that you dislike working there is actually a commentary on your character.

Facebook won't be around for too long. Better start honing your resumé skills.
