How do you not give a fuck about work?
Like, I'm spending a lot of my time here. Of course it makes me feel like shit if I feel like it doesn't matter whether I even do the work or not, and when it's almost like the employer tries to prevent you from doing it.
Legit question, how are you supposed to stop giving a shit?
Stopping entirely takes a very specific personality type - of which I do not have so I can't answer that, but I've been on the "care appropriately" soap box for a while:
If your job is literally saving lives, you care more.
If your job pays you well and gives you the time off you really need, you care more.
If you're pushing papers so people who make way more than you can make even more, care less.
If your job treats you like a worthless cog, care less.
Care appropriately 😁
@deirdrebeth i get paid well, but the job itself makes me go crazy. If it wouldn't put me in a worse position to switch jobs, I would've quit already.

In that case I care enough to not get fired (which is a surprisingly low bar), but my focus is on finding something different.
When I was in that position previously I based my job search on the companies I wanted to work for, and those who fit *all* my criteria and just didn't apply to others. It took me 21 months, but it happened (3rd time applying at the same company too). Fingers crossed for you!
