'The gig just didn't spark joy enough to outshine the dark of how frustrated and stressed I got with management and the culture of the place'
In this episode of Luke Hand Diary, Luke shares a candid and reflective account of his day on Wednesday, 26th June 2024. Kicking off with a pre-interview call with an employment agency, Luke admits that he’s not quite in the interview mindset after spending a year unwiring his brain from the corporate lingo. Despite this, the call went reasonably well. The highlight of the day, however, is Luke's decision to resign from his aged care job.
Frustration with management and workplace culture led him to this turning point. Although he believes the new owners might eventually improve things, he couldn’t wait around for that change to happen. As he puts it, 'the gig just didn't spark joy enough to outshine the dark of how frustrated and stressed I got with management and the culture of the place'. It’s a bold move that many can relate to when stuck in an unfulfilling job.
On a lighter note, Luke finds joy in small things like snagging a comfy green cardigan from the op shop and proving a friend wrong about sunflowers. He even cooks a delicious dinner to welcome someone home, only to find out they opted for a quick pizza instead. His mood and energy both rate a six out of ten, reflecting a day of mixed emotions but forward momentum.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a job or found happiness in the little things, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear Luke's relatable musings and maybe find some inspiration for your own journey.
