I once took a job with a company I knew was struggling. It was a great job, and I was willing to do my part to help make things better. My boss was always pushing us to work hard for the next piece of revenue.

Eventually, I found myself burned out. When I talked to my boss about it, he shrugged it off as just the way it is. The pushing continued, and so did the struggles. Eventually, I found I no longer cared about the job and quit.

You’ve got this.
