How do you "let it go" at work?

[Spuen]

My boss is always asigning me stupid tasks of proyects he doesn't know hoy they work.
Those tasks usually involve:
- a waste of time
- more work for me later
- breaking something that is currently working
- loosing the bonus in my salary for not achieving our goals

I try to explain it to him but he doesn't seem to listen or understand what i explain.

I try to remind myself that i dont own the company, that it is not my responsibility if something goes wrong and that, as soon as I get paid, i shouldn't care if i am wasting time.
But i can't seem to avoid feeling frustrated and burn out and get mad at the lack of organization and misleading. Its not my company, but i like doing a good job.

How do you manage these situations?

focus on doing your job well and avoid dwelling on things that are out of your control—that only leads to frustration. Whatever tasks your boss assigns, tackle them with a positive approach, and remember that every task contributes to the bigger picture, even if it may not seem important in the moment.

Keep in mind that companies are always testing new methods and strategies, even when current processes are working. Your main responsibility is to perform your role to a high standard and maintain job security by consistently meeting expectations.

Retrain yourself to let go of concerns over how your manager organizes tasks or manages workloads. Don’t take decisions or changes personally; remember, your manager is following directives from higher up, and their job also depends on getting results from the team. By focusing on your tasks and staying adaptable, you can foster a productive work environment without added stress.

Cool off and take regular breaks. Update your CV and start sending it to other companies in hopes you find a work environment that won't be chaos.

Thank you. I updated mi cv and started searching for other jobs some months ago, but i only see job posts with worse conditions than my job or job posts im not qualified to, and i get the impostor syndrome and get depressed haha

Also, i really like my job. Its a comfortable position and i enjoy my tasks. Its just some of the people surrounding it...

But i will try what you suggest

I completely understand. Trust me on that. It is the comfort we feel and even though the situation is chaotic, we know exactly what to expect. When it comes to escaping such situations there is the fear of the unknown , but sometimes change can be for the best, at least that is what I constantly try to remind myself as well. I honestly wish you the best no matter what you choose to do. Try your best to take it easy okay? I know that it is difficult, but try to not allow the stress of your work to interfere with your thoughts after you are done.

Managing frustration at work requires a strategic approach. Start by setting clear boundaries and prioritize tasks to avoid burnout. Document your concerns and communicate them professionally to your boss, focusing on the impact of these tasks on productivity and team goals. Seek feedback to ensure your concerns are understood. Additionally, focus on aspects of your job that bring satisfaction. Engage in stress-reducing activities outside work to help maintain a healthy work-life balance. Ultimately, consider long-term career goals and evaluate whether your current role aligns with them.
