Working the grind

So far this year has taught me that change will shake things up in your life from time to time. I went from starving for employment to working in a place that has too much work. Haha, the irony right?
Well it isn't a bad job really, but there is just a combination of bad elements that makes where I currently am unsuitable for me to stay there. It's funny too, because in my first three months there, the higher end of management is asking question as to "why people quit in the first 6 months?"

I didn't say a word, but in my mind I was saying, "maybe because you are trying too hard to be efficient as a company and you are putting far too much stress on your employees." This is the reason so many people end up working for themselves. Companies are so far attached from reality that they set unrealistic goals and end up hurting the employees the most. What's even more sad, is the fact that it always ends up costing the "companies" more in the long run.  People with corporate mindsets are not empathic people at all.

I personally do not see why I am still there, but I am glad to know I am moving on from there soon. I'm already looking elsewhere. As an artist, I want to work full time creating and drawing and expressing. Normal "conventional" jobs simply do not give me enough freedom to do what I want and stressful efficiency jobs are basically the worst. I've made up my mind, I'm moving forward. It isn't just because of the job itself. I am moving forward because I deserve to treat myself better than how I have been for the last two decades.

It isn't their story I need to continue, but my very own.
