This. I used to work construction and hated it, also exhausted every day after work. I changed my career and now work the hours I want. It’s so much better
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Do you guys feel like doing nothing after a workday?

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

No once i get home i head to the gym and workout, go home shower and some nights even go out.
Unless your working in a labour intensive job, which most women then you have no excuse to be lazy at home.

It really destroys you physicallyand mentally, in my factory job i had to commute two hours to work by bus and train. Often would have overtime and than another two hours back home. Some nights i had no time once i got back and just slept.
The pay was terrible as well, i don't wish that life on my worst enemy.

I mean you can do that, but how does that help with anything?
I'd limit this to once a week. Nothing wrong with it unless you do it every day.

It's probably low T. Get it checked.
In fairness we are surrounded by girl power and weak soy boys. It's common place and practice.
I lift 6x a week. I approach. I take my D out. Lock down was irrelevant.
Make new pals preferably significantly younger. Dhv by being a cool older guy. They can motivate you going out. While uncalibrated it's synergistic as they have vigor and the fire.
Clean up diet. Lift minimum 4day split. Approach girls on commute to work and lunch break. Break out of the mundane everyday routine. Most guys don't and instead play house with some busted girl and YouTube rants about hypergamy. Don't do this.
Shake it up. Even if you are wrecked rest but do a 20min walk. Get a new hobby. Join a mma or boxing gym.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Even within the same industry exist different political and working environments.

Indeed.
It's the poisoned well. One toxic manipulator can poison a team. If they are higher up then that becomes the company culture. Dan rusts book workplace poker is well worth a read for the different types of toxic company culture. Today's workplace I think it's good advice to never leave the market always have the CV out there and be talking to people. Tell recruiters that you're very happy there and r doing great things and they love you. And you are always happy to talk to great people about great opportunities. I think too many of us myself included only look when things are bad at work or when we are between gigs. Random chance does throw them up and I think you have to be looking to get the bounce.

If you are an introvert and spend your day around people at some point you just wanna stay by yourself.
The other option is a weak form of depression.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Workout on weekday mornings. Light cardio and weight training -- just not too strenuous.
Eat clean. Cut out processed meats and white bread. Eat more fruit and vegetables. Rely on potatoes and corn, not grain, for carbs.
Have an AM caffeine cut-off. Drinking lots of coffee not only interferes with sleep, but the crash will drain you. I drink a cup of black coffee on the sh!t can each morning at 6:30AM. That's it.
Drink a lot of water. A lot of fatigue is actually mild dehydration.
Do not drink any alcohol on weeknights. Even one beer will fvck your sleep up.
Do not look at screens an hour before bed. Read a book. This will calm your mind.
It's okay to feel tired and drained after work. You're not supposed to be going right back out to do stuff. You should be winding down. Have something to look forward to. I like cooking, listening to a podcast or a Yankees game on the radio, and reading a good book before bed. If you work out in the morning, relaxing should be the only thing on the evening schedule.
