Me, take the leadership? No, thanks for now.

Is it bad not to care about certain things at work or moving up the ladder?

Right now I am in that point in my life where I just want to focus on staying at home, be with my kids and just enjoy beautiful sunny days on week days. Is it wrong for me to NOT care about my career right now? (temporarily, of course)

My coworkers probably thinks that I have no ambition, no drive. They want me to take initiative on certain projects and just take the lead. I would’ve done that in a blink of an eye a couple of years ago….but as of right now…I JUST DONT WANT TO!!

Yes, I admit, I am just a factory worker. But you know, I’m ok with that. Not managing other people and missing all those long, BS meetings made my job less stressfull. Just give me what I need to do and I’ll do it! Maybe in a few months or years I’ll feel entirely different. But if you ask me to take leadership and initiative at work, or manage projects and try to move up the ladder, I would say ”No, thanks for now”.
