Tech workers are sick of the grind. Some are on the search for low-stress jobs.
is coming to an end: Over the past few months, hundreds of tech workers have taken to social media to discuss low-stress job options, with some saying they're burnt out.
Earlier this week, a Meta worker posted on the anonymous job site Blind asking peers if they had any ideas for"low-pressure jobs." The post generated 100 responses. It was just one of more than a dozen separate posts on the issue across Blind andwrote ."I feel like I need a low pressure job where I am not constantly worried about if what I am doing is enough to avoid PIP," or a performance-improvement plan.
Blind allows its users to post anonymously, but requires them to verify their status as an employee of a particular company by requiring the use of their work email address. Insider did not independently verify the employment of the users cited in this story. The Meta worker said that while they don't mind 50-hour work weeks, the stress of performance-improvement plans"eats me up" and that they've had difficulty finding the motivation to keep going after having kids.after companies put workers on notice. The plans offer paths to improvement after lackluster performance reviews or act as a form of discipline, and are often considered precursors to termination.
