Tomorrow is Monday and I don’t even want to turn on my laptop. It all seems like a meaningless rat wheel. Systems that don’t functions, sinking ships everywhere, low morale, droves of middle market VP’s and Executives that push more on the worker bees for less and less money and dwindling benefits. It is a hard pill to swallow watching the Gail’s of the company rake in million upon millions of dollars while off shoring jobs, demanding more savings and cost cuts across the company. We are not helping our members only causing more harm, confusion, with lies and manipulation. This a shameful company and I’m embarrassed to say I work here but I am stuck. I’m sorry to all our members you put your trust in us and we fail you everyday.

This is all so true and I’m in the same boat. It’s a sad reality everyday at Elevance.
I feel this in my bones
I'm not sure which is worse. That or being utterly numb, performing the bare minimum required, utilizing every opportunity to duck and hide, making the stupid tasks they want me to perform appear even more foolish, refusing to work extra hours to make up for poor management, and waiting to be included in a RIF for the severance. I worry that the carefree attitude I've acquired may work against me in a future job.
I felt this same way for a couple years and finally broke free before the stress and depression affected my health to the point of needing medical intervention. I resigned. It has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I can/will find another job, but the peace of mind and calmness I feel is irreplaceable. This organization doesn’t care about its employees or members. It cares about Wall Street. It’s all lip service….
I feel this every Sunday too. It's getting harder to block out the chaos and focus.
Yeah, sometimes one gets stuck. If the OP is not in a deep tech position, maybe has a few too many years behind them, has a family to support, and doesn’t have enough saved to roll for a while, in today’s job market; yep, they’re probably stuck. Going to work for one of our competitors is just going to be more of the same; different names, same headaches. Good luck to all of us.
You are never stuck.....
