I am not in a comfortable situation in mine. It is a bit toxic tbh. The rest of it seems normal - so many meetings, everyone fumbling around trying to meet the goals that shift around. I do like the parts where I get to write code though:-).

Nobody enjoys 100% of every day and every activity. But do you enjoy your job... mostly?

Yikes!? Ultimately it sounds like you are expected to either "take it or leave it", doing more work than them e.g. if you have to clean up after both them and yourself and also your planned work and also any of theirs. I've heard that about baking: it's toxic.

I hope you can figure something out, like maybe you can switch to the morning shift yourself? That might not be as ideal for your circumstances, but it sounds like "ideal" is out the window entirely at this point, and you are trying to simply survive somehow.
