I just don't understand how I can have so many meetings. I spend more time in meetings talking about work than actually working.
I feel your pain, man. I've spent the last 4 hours trying to find evidence of signoff from 17 months ago because my director likes to volunteer our department for regular audit. The process I work around requires 18 signoffs per production change. Last month I had to spec out 13 production changes. 234 fucking signoffs. I spend more time worrying about audit compliance than I do getting stuff done. I can't take it any more. I stopped smoking pot a last week to start cleaning out my system. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I can't take the corporate world. I want to get out now rather than later. Leaving my current salary behind will suck, but it's only going to get harder as that salary increases. Even with the pay, the vacation time, the healthcare, and the schedule, I honestly can't take. I feel like a whiny millennial bitch talking that way, but I already feel my body failing from sitting 12+ hours a day, I'm anxious all the time now (which was never an issue) and the headaches I get from staring at screens all day has gotten very old. I'm tired of it after just 3 years.
