Have you ever felt so checked out from your job you just want to lie on bed all day? What should I do? - Lemmy

I don’t care about my job anymore: my boss bores me and constantly tries manipulating me so I work more for the same money, half of my coworkers are morons (the other half are fine), clients are demanding and entitled asses. All I think of is excuses not to work, but I don’t have enough stamina to quit and find something else. It’s like I’m the main character in office space. Sometimes I think I should be fired because that would force me to snap out of it and find something I might enjoy, but every job is going to be sh*t like the one I have now. I’m following the path of least resistance. I work because I need money but I’ve decided I’m gonna half ass it as much as I can and call in sick as much as I can because what’s the effing point? I’m gonna get paid anyways. Another question: If your work includes dealing with the public, have you noticed how they’re increasingly demanding? I don’t know if I’m the only one feeling like this. It’s like spring brings the stupid side of people out.

Friends I’m gonna give it to you straight and simple, cause I’ve been there… that sounds like burn out. You need to a) figure out a way to take a medical leave b) seek professional mental help (even just meds to get you up and running so you can seek more long term help). If you absolutely cannot do the former, you have to do your quiet quitting while you seek help, so you can land on your feet when the inevitable happens.
Yes. Take care of yourself first. And then look for another job ASAP
