Ask HN: Anyone else tired of working in tech?

9•boredemployee•6h ago
I'm really tired of the BS, AI, corporate environment and what not.

Looking for alternatives.

In case you're in the same boat:

What do you plan to work with?

Actually, regardless of the sector, as people get older, they get tired and bored of working.

Actually, not always. I didn't want to retire, I liked working and I was good at it, but I had to retire for medical reasons. My environment was a bit different than most, though, working with scientists developing tools for analysis, visualization and simulation.

I'm tired of working in tech but fortunately (or not) it's my hobby so even if I retired I would still be doing all the techy things at home on my 17 'puters (loose count). Plus being the IT Guy for several extended families. I'm live. I'm nationwide. But, I do plan to do more art, music, gardening, etc.

I'm an on-call IT guy for small/med biz. Everyone is happy to see me and I am treated very well. Most have volunteered a desk or office for my use.

I do not tire of it.

Yes I am very tired of it as well. I thought the crypto craze was as bad as it would get but boy was I wrong.

I’m going to live a simpler life where I work on making video games as a creative endeavor. I’ll try to find a part time job to earn some money, but mainly just adjust my expectations to be happier with what I have as opposed to what I could have.

I’ve wedged myself into the correct shape to fit into what companies classified as a productive tech worker for 10+ years mainly out of fear of being poor, so now I must repay that debt to myself by doing things just for the sake of enjoyment or fulfillment and not to build a skill that makes me better at making more money.
