I left a corporate job that paid a 6 figure salary to drive a fuel tanker simply because I realised I didn't have the slightest fucking clue what the point of my reports and spreadsheets was. My friends and family genuinely think I'm unwell, but I'm fine.

@fesshole I remember the boss' slightly drunk PA, telling me that those "must be turned in before leaving the office on Friday" sales reports were chucked in the bin, unread, on Monday morning. I quit doing them and absolutely no one noticed. I quit shortly thereafter and got a job in a small tool-n-die/engineering shop.

@fesshole my old firm, the higher you got the more they expected you to take your job home with you.

@fesshole I know a fuel tanker driver and can’t believe you’d put yourself through that willingly
