Do you enjoy your job? (piefed.social)

I am not in a comfortable situation in mine. It is a bit toxic tbh. The rest of it seems normal - so many meetings, everyone fumbling around trying to meet the goals that shift around. I do like the parts where I get to write code though:-).

Nobody enjoys 100% of every day and every activity. But do you enjoy your job... mostly?

I used to be in the B2B tech industry and even though I liked what I did within my team for a living, it always felt like I wasn't contributing anything of substance to society. Then everyone in the tech industry was laid off so I nabbed a job in the healthcare industry. I knew going in that I might be contributing negatively to society, but I was desperate and beggars can't be choosers. I was hoping the layoffs would have blown over by now and I'd be able to start looking again, but the layoffs are STILL happening. And now that the whole UHC situation has happened, I feel like I'm walking on eggshells all the time. I still like my team and the things I do within that team, but I loath my company and will jump ship the second I'm able. It's really a shame too as I feel I've done all my best work so far at this company and have grown a lot in just 2 years. But I can't stomach contributing to evil for longer than I have to.
