i have been for awhile and it's v draining any time i have days off, the second i come back people bombard me saying they're glad i'm back and will literally BOTHER me all shift and keep coming into my area telling me about every piece of work place drama that happened/is happening. there will be some days where i'm not in the mood or im over stimulated with every thing that is going on and will try and take a couple seconds to myself and people will act like they can't possibly be in a good mood or have a good shift if i'm not and will literally bug me every second asking if im okay or try to "cheer me up" even when i keep repeating that im fine and then they will put me in a actual bad mood bc they won't leave me alone and make it a bigger issue than it actually is

and when i take breaks people always feel the need to either take their break with me and talk me to death the ENTIRE time when i have my airpods in or just try and linger in there talking to me about **** idgaf about like i'm happy i have coworkers that care about and like me but it's just a biT tew much sometimes. i try and directly communicate to give me space or whatever when im busy or not in the mood to be bothered but it's like it goes in one ear, gets jumbled up in their brain and now all of a sudden they think i hate them and i have to keep being bothered until i "feel better" when thats never the case i just want to go to work without being centered in everything.

I am starting next tuesday, pray for me I won't become important

I'm important in the project but also very replaceable. But thats corporate life.

people who work in corporate are strong i never want to omg more power to you

there are no small parts only small actors

I am becoming important because I am able to say NO and that's like groundbreaking in my company lol (i joined 8 months ago)

I have a ton of job security since I handle everything relating to the website and its system architecture in how it interacts with various CRMs, databases, APIs, etc. There's a lot of information being fed in and going out. My company only has a single person (me) who handles this and since I developed most of it from scratch on my own, I'm the only one who really knows how to identify if something is wrong and the only person who can fix it. I have actually asked for another developer, but they refuse to hire one. That has its benefits, I guess.

no one's THAT important in the corporate world tbh

oh you have a lot of power.

My skillset is very rare so I'm valuable. It is draining though, especially when coworkers are preying on your downfall.

I'm head teacher and they rely on me for writing reports and emails as they think I'm very well-spoken so I would like to think so

I'd say no but then again if I leave the room these 30 first graders are basically out to kill themselves.

No. But I could take sick and vacation leaves at my own leisure. No career growth but I like it since my last job was so stressful I had bad thoughts.

peace of mind and time for life side quests >>>money and stress.

I'm good, yeah, I'm feeling alright

Yeah. Like my office branch literallly would fall without me, im so proud

No, I'm very replaceable and it kinda sucks since you know you're an easy target if they want to start cutting people, but what i do is important and i take care of quite a few things that no one does, im usually the one that closes the entire building too but idk

Good thing is i can take holidays, PTO and sick days whenever i want to and once i come back someone already did everything for me, i'm looking for a new job rn.

Anyone is replaceable.

Everyone is replaceable.

Everyone is replaceable. If your role wasn't needed or important it wouldn't exist.

And people who act all high and mighty at work aren't that special either.
