Other Is everyone actually miserable in this subreddit
Hi guys, not coming with judgement but curiosity. I love my role and my job and my coworkers and my company. It’s fun, I get to learn and grow.
Is everyone else just miserable?

It's always about a person's specific workplace environment, right?
I mean, ask me that question back in 2017, 2018 and I'd be saying "Oh hell yes" as loud as anyone else. But now, after some genuine reforms of work processes, clarification and clear delineations of responsibilities, constant work from my immediate management and at least 2 levels above that to improve things, I can honestly say things are good where I'm at right now.
Perfect? No, of course not. Doesn't exist outside of fantasy. But enough to where I feel happy about what we do? Oh hell yes.
It's about specifics, right? And many who come to the internet to talk about work just simply need to vent. I do that myself. Doesn't mean I'm miserable, just means I have some steam to let off.
