I'm 23 and work from home for a startup company that my father is the CEO of.
My title is copywriter, but I do a bit of everything from creating social posts, sending emails and writing articles (as well as product launches and descriptions etc.)
The pay is decent, but not great, at around $36,000 USD a year (I'm Australian so it's around $47,000 AUD after tax). But I fucking HATE it.
I hate that the company is so small and that my team of 3 manages so many huge projects. I hate that even though we're bringing in almost $100K USD a week, we're still financially fucked because of previous financial mismanagement.
I hate that there's no culture, no time to chat, no celebrations for big wins and no pause in the workload. I hate that there's no positions above me that I can strive towards, no options for growth. I struggle to motivate myself to do the work because I know the pile just never gets smaller. It's the same shit week after week, and I find no reward in doing it.
I'm always burnt out, always thinking about work but procrastinating. My partner is worried about me, I'm usually mentally checked out so we just can't enjoy our evenings together.
I fucking hate it. I hate working for my dad, because all we talk about is work now, and I feel like I'm expected to go above and beyond because I'm the CEO's son. I get zero praise compared to my coworker who does less shit than I do.
But I feel like I'd be an idiot to leave. So I just need to scream into the void that I FUCKING HATE MYYYY JOOOOOOOB.
