I’ve been at my current job for 10 months now, manager who hired me was my manager at last job for like a year. He is pushing me to take a “team lead” job but ive always refused those in every other job ive been in. Seems like theyre always stressed, and like its not worth the headaches. Im very OCD about work and never call in, which my bosses see and are like “omg, youre such a good worker. Youd make a good boss right” which…no. Im super non confrontational and am terrible and social cues lmao.

Im happy just riding out where im at. I get good benefits, already paid well, and have no kids. Why tf add stress?

    I mean, mine would be like 4-5 dollars. Im working in a factory full of people.

    But im at 25, no kids, dual income, in a low cost area in the midwest. Do I want to work way more stressed and ruin the relationship with co workers so I can make 28,29? Fuck that. Im good lol

      There are plenty of people in the world who have faced serious consequences to their relationships and their physical health and mental wellbeing that are right behind you with that decision.

      I have no doubt there would be tons of people who have one of those stress-induced autoimmune disorders who wish they could wind back the clock and say to themselves "You know what, a bit of extra cash would be nice but I'm not sure that taking on all that extra stress would do me any favours."
