You can certainly find a more fulfilling job for the next year—that’d likely be best for your resume. But also consider that if your bosses don’t care to write people up… you simply don’t have to work that hard. This truly was not a concept I understood when I started working. But the bosses are proving that people work there while doing little actual work. It’s not the end of the world if you dial back your own work and stay there

Yeah I totally agree with the fact that I don’t have to work as hard as I do but the issue is that I’m an extreme busy body so when no one is willing to help, I tend to always step up because I can’t stand to have unfinished work before I leave.

Look for something new but continue to do your best. Hard work seldom goes unnoticed. Just worry about your performance. Not your coworkers.

Sounds like you care more about your job than your management team does. View things as they are, if slacking is part of the culture , accept it.

Remember it's just a job while you are in school, it is not your career and not your company. In the grand scheme of life , this job is just a paycheck and nothing more.

Of course the other option is to get another job if you prefer that choice.

The more related to your future career your job is the better.

I have so many random jobs that I never listed on my resume after I got my first relevant job in my field.

So would you recommend me leaving? Cause I feel like I’m wasting my time being here just because I’m making money

Money is a consideration. If you can find something that still keeps you comfortable then yeah.

Id recommend you check out the blog askamanager. Its great for career advice. When hiring, ive never held job hopping against candidates before college because retail jobs or student jobs or temp work just is like that and its expected.

However, just some advice from someone wgo had bad burnout later in their career...if your work isnt going to discipline or provide incentive for hard work (ie promotion or bonuses or pay raise) then its not worth it to burn youself out. While working hard generally is good in a career, doing too much (and a lot more than your coworkers) when its not rewarded is a recipie for burnout. Getting resentful is a sign burnout is happening. Managment KNOWS how to manage. They are just choosing not to becuase its easier for everyone to just have you do all the work. Thats super shitty. So two things: 1) leaving isnt bad and 2) dont get into this pattern of doing way the fuck more than everyone again. It just gets worse as your career means more to you....and bad burnout (like really bad) can literally inpact your sanity and lead to really bad things like major depression.
