Does he make a good point? Read the full story below and weigh in.

The hardest part of my job isn’t the work, it’s the constant urgency over nothing

What’s been wearing me down lately isn’t workload or long hours, it’s how everything at my job is treated like an emergency.

Emails marked urgent that aren’t. Meetings called last minute that could’ve been a message. Deadlines that suddenly can’t move even though they magically do a week later.

It creates this background anxiety where you’re always bracing for something, even on normal days.

You can’t fully relax because you’re waiting for the next ping that’s going to demand immediate attention for no real reason.

I’ve noticed it follows me home too I’ll be off the clock but still feel tense, like I forgot something important.

This man realized how unnecessary the stress culture is.

The strange thing is, I recently realized I have some money saved up from rollingriches enough that I’m not in immediate danger if things go sideways.

But instead of feeling relieved, it made me more aware of how unnecessary the stress culture is.

The job isn’t saving lives. The urgency is mostly manufactured and yet it takes up so much mental space.

I don’t hate working. I just hate working in an environment where panic is treated like productivity. I wish more workplaces understood that constant pressure doesn’t make people perform better it just makes them exhausted.

Does anyone else feel like the fake urgency is more draining than the actual work itself?

Toxic work cultures drive employees away.
