Why are traditional jobs so incompatible with us?

lina-chan

I hope the question makes sense as I am not too great at explaining things.

I have worked for 6+ years now in 3 different jobs; still in my 3rd job but looking to get out due to a restructure and also burnout due to being fed up of the role and also poor management. From my experience of working so far I find that although I can work, there's these underlying things that I will never understand i.e. Office Politics and such. As I used to do recruitment as well I am very aware of the fact that employers want you to fit a certain template as in, being the ideal employee who doesn't question anything if you get what I mean. If you aren't what they want or need they just get rid of you very slyly.

I don't know about other people, but for me personally as a creative person traditional jobs drain my energy and whenever I've tried to suggest ideas to improve a company (I.E. in my old job when looking for a deputy manager, I suggested adding incentives/benefits in the job ad to attract candidates and management shut that down) or create something to benefit the company (i.e. repographics) management has a go or they say we can't do X Y and Z.

I am now in the process of making an Etsy shop to sell art as I work full-time, starting as a side hustle (as I used to sell items online and enjoyed it) and hopefully turning it into a business. I find most of us tend to go self-employed or just don't bother working long because most jobs are just incompatible.

What do you think?

  • You probably don’t need me to tell you what  has been going on for so long.

     I find people looking at me looking work all the time highly disruptive. Neurotypicals feed off others energy, I really don’t have extra energy to have taken away for free. If I’m looking at actually working I’d say every stop of every task I undertake is undermined because of constant scrutiny to act and be like them. Because not bei nt like them is also a fault which they will highlight. They won’t understand your methods, because their game is only about quick fix end goals. It’s partly why as a species why we are in such a predicament because nothing is really sustainable, nothing we think we do for our own livelihoods is actually supportive. This is because the entire system and workplace is designed around nt systems which are ultimate corrupted and flawed.
