I’ve been feeling really burnt out lately, and I can’t help but wonder if it’s strange to feel this way after everything that’s happened since last November. I was betrayed by someone at my previous job, which left me in shock and filled with anger and depression. I lost that job right before I was supposed to get a performance raise in January and I missed my three-year anniversary in March. The stress took a toll on me physically; I gained weight because I stopped going to the gym, and I even started losing hair and getting white hairs. My doctor prescribed me blood pressure and anxiety pills, and I’m still taking the blood pressure medication. Job hunting has been brutal. I’ve mostly been ghosted by employers, and the few interviews I did have were disheartening. One CEO even laughed at me during an interview, saying, "It looks like you've worked everywhere." I managed to get two jobs, one in January and another in late February. The first job was only one night a week, and when they wouldn’t accommodate my schedule, I quit. The HR person texted me asking if I was going to resign or if they should do it for me after I only called out twice. The second job I started in February ended badly; I was fired on the first of last month because my supervisor claimed I never did what he told me to do. Last Friday, I finally got a job offer that I accepted. It’s with a company where I won’t be a probationary employee like I was at Costco. I’ll be full-time, earning the same pay, and my benefits will kick in as soon as I start. You’d think I’d feel happy about this, but honestly, I don’t.
