Does everyone hate working? 

On this episode of Don’t Jump, a Reddit workplace podcast, Simone and Sam dive into viral Reddit stories about hating work, job burnout, career dissatisfaction, and the exhaustion that comes with working full-time. From anti-work Reddit threads to conversations about corporate burnout, work-life balance, and career anxiety, this episode explores why so many people feel stuck in jobs they don’t love.

We talk about job dissatisfaction, feeling trapped in “easy” jobs, generational burnout, and the pressure to find purpose through work. This conversation breaks down why passion doesn’t always pay the bills, why your job shouldn’t define your worth, and how people are coping with the reality of working for decades.

If you hate your job, dread clocking in, feel burnt out, or constantly wonder “Is this really it?”  you’re not alone.
