Tech Professional Earning Rs 2.5 Lakh Monthly Shares Lack of Motivation Despite Ideal JobPreviousNext

A 32-year-old tech professional earning Rs 2.5 lakh monthly shared on Reddit that despite a fully remote job, minimal work hours, and a supportive employer, he feels no motivation to work, even on passion projects. He clarified this is not due to burnout or poor conditions but a general dislike for working. Having changed jobs, work culture, and salary over a decade, he still finds work unfulfilling and dreads Mondays, sparking online discussions about job satisfaction and motivation.
