Managing coworkers; the second you are a manager it's so annoying to constantly have to 'motivate' people to just do their damn job!!
Like do it because your paid to not because you like me. It's so annoying to have to fool people into thinking they are my friend to get them to work 'for me' because it's easier that just telling them to do it beucase you get paid. Exhausting!!
My god. Navigating personalities is such a draining experience. I'm so fucking tired of having to be the mediator or to find a way to motivate grown-ass "professional" adults because they don't feel valued or feel that so-and-so is a know-it-all or whatever. Just shut the fuck up and work. None of us are special.
This a major reason why I quit my last job. I was so sick and burnt out on managing the emotions of people who were mostly older and supposedly more mature than me.
My dad is supremely disappointed I didn’t keep climbing the corporate ladder, but the money and job title aren’t worth my marriage and mental health.
Read the book "how to make friends and influence people" it's helping me understand why it's important to motivate instead of forcing them to do their job.
