Fresh grad MNC worker seeks job with 'low mental load' and pays at least S$3.5K after realising ‘blue collar’ jobs might be more up his alley
He described the social side of MNC work, including meetings and small talk with colleagues, as exhausting.
A fresh graduate in his late 20s, currently employed on probation at an MNC, is seeking employment with a monthly salary of at least S$3,500 and minimal mental workload, after finding his current job mentally taxing. He previously worked as a delivery driver, which provided him with a sense of autonomy and mental simplicity. His current role, however, demands around eight hours of screen time per day, as well as constant communication through emails, messages, and meetings.
This work environment, he described as "dystopian," leaves him feeling exhausted and unable to enjoy his personal life due to the constant mental strain.
The young professional yearns for a job that allows him to embrace a more casual and stress-free lifestyle, akin to the "chill" he experienced during his delivery job. He wonders if there are positions that require a degree but offer similar benefits, questioning the necessity of putting on a professional front in corporate settings. He wishes to return to a simpler lifestyle, where he could spend his days exploring and doing what he enjoys, rather than being constantly preoccupied with work-related matters.
While some commenters are skeptical about his chances of finding such a job, another advised him to align his career with his passions and scale down his expenses if needed. The netizen expressed the sentiment that life is too short to endure unnecessary stress.
