How the fuck do you people live like this? Are people actually happy doing this job? The pay is pretty good but this job is eating away at my sanity.

Have sex

kys

Well i would but im a cuck. So i first need a gf who I can watch having sex instead to fulfill myself.

If you hate it, go for something else.
If you can't do anything else, train to do something else.

Or dont be a wageslave

There are 6 billion people on the planet and most of them would rather be employed than employ others. As long as that one fact remains true you are nothing but a cog in a machine, and you """should""" be happy to be there.

Either ascend to management/administration or start your own company.

I got a serverside job while in college, way less stressful than school.

This is just life user. Sucks doesn't it?

whats the best tech-related job that strikes a good balance between sitting down at a desk, ana actively installing/configuring/etc. shit on your feet, maybe even outdoors?
i cannot stay in the same room sitting down for 40+hrs a week. potentially not even have an office, just on the road, etc.
something networking related?

Welcome to the corporate neo-liberal hellworld.

some sort of freelancer

Good managers are supposed to know about management, why the fuck should the guy who's job it is to manage know how to program as well as the people who's job it is to program?

a good manager knows what the devs problems and concerns are.

You had me until
>I hear weeping from the bathrooms all the time

There's no way this can be real.
In case it is, no, that is absolutely not normal. Change companies.

field service

you work for a shit company, not surprising since there are a lot of them
look for a better job on the down-low or wait a few years until you have some experience and then quit and find something else
you wouldn't believe how much easier it is to get a good job once you can put experience on your resume, the difference is night and day

office tech
i work office support for a distributor with a separate warehouse and i'm in and out of my room to deal with things

Hey OP, I can sympathise with how you feel, I'm nowhere close to as bad as you have it, but this sounds like a shit place that's working you to death.
If you're feeling like that, it's time to leave. If there's no way out and you can't think of a way that it will get better, get out of there and go somewhere else.

Software should not be a hyper competitive career. There's a shortage of SE graduates worldwide and every fucking business wants some kind of software shit, so you're a commodity they want. Them working you like a machine is the opposite of what they want and the fucking bullshit you're getting of a competitive attitude means that people don't open up for criticism in their PRs and will fight you for thinking something's wrong. There's a surefire way to kill conventions because everyone is convinced their way is the right way and you'll develop this fucking rube goldberg monster codebase. Gross. If you can't tell people that something could be better or they should do it a different way, nobody's going to be learning shit.
Sounds to me like:
Office morale is rock bottom
Everyone on all teams is stressed
Dumbfuck management doesn't understand backend and how important it is
Architects have no vision for projects and put ridiculous requirements on you to keep up with constantly changing requirements that are impossible to meet in the given timeframe.

Your dev team isn't a team, it's a free-for-all where you're scrambling to get to the top arbitrarily, higher-up cucks praise front end and disregard all the structural functionality because they don't understand shit, further separating the teams from each other and nobody's doing anything because it's still chugging along for now.
Eventually something's gonna give and people will quit because of work conditions. You're a human being and feelings like depression/stress because you're not recognised for your work while others are is totally reasonable to feel shit.
You can do it OP, leave and let them rot

Helloworld*

>How the fuck do you people live like this?
Play violent games or watch rough porn to unwind. If you have the money, hire a coach to talk about how work can impact you less negatively.

Same here!!

>Or dont be a wageslave
Hello unemployed leech.

fuck off ubuntu hipsters

How much do you earn vs how much are you money rent costs etc?

Where are you employed ( what state)

And a good manager understands at the least how hard stuff can be and understands dev needs.
A good manager is supposed to be defending their developers from business shit and making sure that they have everything they need to work.
A shit manager is one who gives everything back to devs, asking them to do admin work that should be done by BA types and harrasses them for work, demands to know why stuff isn't done and pulls devs into meaningless meetings. A developer wants to get requirements and turn them into functional code, not have to talk to every fucking peon in the office to do someone else's job and theirs.

Agree, fuck you, you disgusting NEET
But side note, if you made something and sold it for big bucks, like, retire-at-30 big bucks, could you then live a NEET life, having earned your nest egg already?
Is that still being a filthy leech?

>How the fuck do you people live like this? Are people actually happy doing this job?
of course not
they're all gullible zoomers and soulless drones who think they can grind for a bit and retire early

NEETs usually acquire funds from government programs or family, thereby leeching.

holy shit
i have the literally exact same experience in embedded systems
i work the really low levels of hal and other os/platform related implementations
i hate it
i will probably kys myself evetually
i even worked overtime today

Most jobs are shitty OP. It could be worse, you could be doing construction and ruining your joints until your body breaks down and you're stuck addicted to opiates for the rest of your life.

The best option for wagecucks is to save up a ton of money, quit, and start working full-time on a business.

>*goes bankrupt in 6 months*
h-heh nothin personnel kid, not everyone's destined to make it

That's why you start shit which doesn't cost money. Most services and skills you can learn on your own and manually work your way up to hiring other people.
Anyway, if you're not a nigger you can save up several years' worth of living expenses.

The company I work for isn't that bad, at least yet.
>get my job as a "frontend" dev right out of HS
>end up doing node.js development as well, work on a distributed system, pretty complicated (and fun) stuff
>get praised for being good at what I do
>my first project is state-of-art
>2 frontend devs (including me) and one backend working on it
>tight deadlines, so plenty of overtime and working during weekends
>PM for the project can get annoying at times, hope I'll never have to work with him when he told he'd be leaving the corporation we've been consulting for
>he ends up coming to our consulting firm right after his job at that corporation
>switch offices
>the whole place gets more corporate (even though the CTO that interviewed me told ne that wouldn't happen), new desks and chairs are uncomfortable garbage
>got noticed on meetups, hoping I'll get a better job after I drop out of this one
>was assigned to help with some shitty projects, setting up another instance of said state-of-art project right now
While it's not that bad right now (although I miss the old office badly, and the new one is WAY more distracting), I feel like it will become shit pretty soon.
TL;DR: OP, you had bad luck, stick in your job for some time to get experience and look for a better job at another company.

man i wish there was a job like this that still mainly involved programming. love programming but its literally the worst part about being a developer - sitting around in the same place for ages

factory IT. I get to sit all day in my office dicking around servers, firewalls, or I can go out to dick around network, user computers, printers, PLC's¨...

>npm install bootstrap
>npm install bootstrap-carousel
>wow, nice job user, this looks AWESOME! I'm so happy we finally have some high quality developers around here for once!
>I Can't believe you did this in just one day! It took us a few months to make something like this before! You're on the right track son, things are looking good for you already.
