my job is gonna kill me

i hate to complain about a job where i make six figures but holy fucking shit i work at least 60 hours a week and it’s never gonna stop until i keel over

60 hrs/wk will eat your soul

just quit a side job for similar reasons
need my free time back

I’m sorry that you’re in that situation. 60 hrs/week is unreasonable, especially if you don’t have equity in the company (not a chance at equity - actual equity).

Any place that asks you to work 60 hrs/week is a place that has dysfunctional planning, unreasonable timelines, incompetent management, and ownership that does not care about you.

i hate interviewing so much that i just kinda deal + i have only been here 9 months so it feels weird to leave already but i’m burning out rapidly and gonna just have a complete meltdown sooner or later

probably a good idea to jump ship

You shouldn’t feel weird about leaving if planning is dysfunctional, timelines are unreasonable, management is incompetent, and ownership does not care about those things.

I highly doubt they told you at the start “Yeah, we all work 60 hours a week and you know, it’s wonderful” when you interviewed. Nothing wrong with putting out a few feelers and then jumping to a place that at least pretends to give a damn about its workers.

fresh off a meltdown here
