RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

At work, sometimes I take a bathroom break just to escape. Don't use the bathroom, I just wanna stop looking people I don't care about around me and the noise. I'm not physically tired, since the job isn't demanding that way, but mentally I can't stand it. That's the main problem, it's a warehouse so it's inevitable. In a perfect world I would be almost completely alone and the job would be a 15 minutes from my home at walking speed...

Both of it aren't a reality.

Even people who like their jobs need a break. I WFH, so I don't do this exactly, but I do leave my desk and go somewhere else to give my brain a break.

Side note: you don't have to stay at a job you dislike - you can look for another one. Even if you dislike the next one, it will be different!

That's not a possibility for low class immigrants... Do you think a good chunk of the Latinos that do gardening jobs in USA or similar do it because they like it?

No, very few people would continue with their jobs if they didn't have to. But there are varying degrees of terrible. Some people opt to start their own yardcare businesses (the work still sux, but you are the boss). For others, changing employers can improve some things. I just wanted to point out that there are options - even if imperfect.
